Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound Large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off as preferred)
- 3 units Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 14 ounces Crushed tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
- 0.5 cups Dry white wine
- 0.5 cups Water or seafood stock
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 ounces Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
- 4 units Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until they just turn pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and lower the heat to medium-low.
Sauté the onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen the flavor.
Add the crushed tomatoes, white wine, water or seafood stock, sugar, dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet along with any accumulated juices. Stir gently to coat the shrimp in the sauce and simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top and cover the skillet. Turn off the heat and let the feta melt slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
