Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 14 ounces crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 1 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups kalamata olives, halved and pitted
- 0.5 cups feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 lemon wedges
- 2 cups cooked couscous or rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir in the dried oregano. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to slightly thicken and allow the flavors to meld.
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, turning the shrimp occasionally, until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Stir in the kalamata olives and half of the crumbled feta cheese. Let everything cook for another 2 minutes to warm through.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with the remaining feta cheese and chopped parsley.
Serve the Greek Shrimp immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Optionally, spoon the shrimp and sauce over cooked couscous or rice for a complete meal.
