Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound extra-large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with their juices)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 3 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 pieces lemon wedges (for serving)
- 1 loaf crusty bread (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat dry with a paper towel, and set aside.
In a large skillet or saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes with their juices and white wine. Stir to combine.
Add the fresh parsley, dill, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Gently nestle the shrimp into the simmering sauce in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp and sauce, allowing it to warm and soften slightly (about 1-2 minutes).
Remove the pan from the heat and garnish with additional chopped parsley and dill, if desired.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side and a loaf of crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
