Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined (tail-on optional)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 400 grams canned crushed tomatoes
- 60 milliliters dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnishing)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- 2 lemon wedges (for serving)
- 1 loaf crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and white wine. Stir well to combine.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, oregano, and (optional) red pepper flakes. Simmer the sauce for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for 4–5 minutes, flipping the shrimp halfway through, until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp and sauce. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for 2–3 minutes until the feta softens.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped parsley and (optional) dill.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and crusty bread for dipping.
