5. 5 Fill a large pot with 1 gallon water and 2 tablespoons salt; bring to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain thoroughly (do not rinse); transfer to the baking sheet. Set aside to cool.
6. 6 Transfer zucchini, bell pepper, pasta shells, shrimp, tomatoes, feta cheese, olives, onion, and oregano to a bowl or gallon-sized resealable plastic bag (it can be refrigerated for several hours). When ready to serve, add vinaigrette; toss to coat.
