Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cups dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon oregano, dried
- 0.5 cups Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
- 0.5 cups feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
Instructions
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, and add them to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.
Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and stir in the dried oregano. Bring to a simmer and let the mixture cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Stir in the Kalamata olives and return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until the shrimp is heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle crumbled feta and chopped parsley over the top.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, over pasta, or alongside a green salad. Enjoy!
