Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 400 grams crushed tomatoes
- 60 milliliters dry white wine
- 120 grams feta cheese, crumbled
- 80 grams kefalotyri or mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large lemons, cut into wedges for serving
- optional crusty bread for serving
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until softened and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and dry white wine, and stir well to combine.
Season the sauce with oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Add the shrimp to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to turn pink.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and grated kefalotyri (or mozzarella) evenly over the top of the shrimp and sauce.
Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the shrimp are fully cooked.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and a slice of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
