Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 15 ounces canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 6 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 lemon wedges
- crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large ovenproof skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Simmer the tomato mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens.
Remove the skillet from the heat and gently stir in the raw shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated in the sauce.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp and sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked through.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added zest and crusty bread to soak up the sauce, if desired.
