Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic cloves (minced)
- 15 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped, divided)
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 cups cooked rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Turn off the heat and stir in half of the chopped parsley and all of the chopped dill.
Layer the raw shrimp in an even layer in a lightly greased 9x13-inch casserole dish.
Pour the tomato-herb sauce over the shrimp, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the casserole is bubbling.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the casserole and sprinkle the remaining chopped parsley on top as a garnish.
Serve warm, optionally over cooked rice for a complete meal.
