Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Pour in the white wine and stir to deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits at the bottom.
Add the baby spinach, kalamata olives, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet and toss gently with the shrimp and vegetables.
Stir in the lemon zest and juice, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Serve immediately and enjoy!
