Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 14 ounces Canned diced tomatoes, drained
- 0.75 cups Feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the garlic is fragrant but not browned.
Stir in the dried oregano and drained diced tomatoes. Cook for 4-5 minutes, letting the flavors meld and the sauce thicken slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the crumbled feta cheese until evenly distributed.
Nestle the shrimp into the tomato-feta mixture, ensuring they are spread out evenly. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the shrimp with lemon juice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with crusty bread, over rice, or alongside a simple salad for a complete meal.
