Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 120 ml dry white wine
- 400 g canned crushed tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste

- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 100 g feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp in batches and cook on each side for 1-2 minutes until they turn pink. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet. Sauté the chopped onion for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, dried oregano, dried thyme, sugar, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the sauce for 15-20 minutes, allowing it to thicken and the flavors to meld together.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and gently toss them in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are heated through.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. If desired, top with crumbled feta cheese for added flavor.
Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or over pasta for a satisfying meal.
