Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14 ounces crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Pour the crushed tomatoes into the skillet and stir to combine.
Season the sauce with dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley and the lemon juice.
Gently nestle the shrimp into the tomato sauce in an even layer.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top of the shrimp and sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with the remaining fresh parsley.
Serve hot with crusty bread or over cooked rice, if desired.
