Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease four small, oven-safe ramekins or mini casserole dishes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Stir in the shrimp, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until the shrimp start to turn pink. Remove from heat.
Divide the shrimp and tomato mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins or mini casserole dishes.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp mixture in each ramekin.
In a small bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Top each casserole with an even layer of the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the casseroles from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or alongside a fresh salad for a light main course. Enjoy!
