Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.5 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- optional cooked linguine or crusty bread, for serving
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.
Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their juices.
Pour the white wine into the skillet and stir well, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, oregano, and lemon juice. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning the shrimp once, until they are pink and opaque.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top, allowing it to soften slightly.
Garnish the dish with fresh parsley and dill before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately over cooked linguine, or alongside crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
