Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams prawns (shrimp), peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 60 milliliters dry white wine
- 100 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- optional crusty bread or rice (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large, oven-safe skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring to prevent burning.
Pour in the diced tomatoes and their juices, and add the white wine. Stir well to combine.
Season the tomato mixture with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Stir in the lemon juice, half of the chopped parsley, and the dill. Remove the skillet from heat.
Arrange the prawns on top of the tomato sauce in a single layer.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the prawns and tomato sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the prawns are cooked through and the feta is slightly melted.
Remove the skillet from the oven and garnish with the remaining parsley.
Serve the Greek Baked Prawns hot, with crusty bread or rice on the side to soak up the flavorful sauce. Enjoy!
