Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 14 oz canned diced tomatoes
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 1 tsp oregano, dried
- 0.5 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 lemon wedges (for serving)
- crusty bread or rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and their juices, along with the white wine, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
Nestle the shrimp into the tomato sauce in an even layer. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp and sauce. Cover again and cook for 2 more minutes, allowing the feta to soften.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing squeeze of citrus. Pair with crusty bread or rice to soak up the delicious sauce, if desired.
