Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion (finely diced)
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seed (optional)
- 0.5 cup Dry white wine
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 6 ounces Feta cheese (crumbled)
- 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and fennel seed (if using), and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the diced tomatoes (including their juices) and tomato paste to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Simmer the mixture for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the fresh parsley, dill, kosher salt, and black pepper.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer over the tomato mixture.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp.
Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the top, and if desired, sprinkle breadcrumbs for added crunch.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked through.
Remove from the oven and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and crusty bread for dipping.
