Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, finely diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 0.25 cups dry white wine
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons pepper
- 1 pound raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 0.5 cups crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 1 optional, for serving lemon wedges
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the finely diced yellow onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and their juices, followed by the dry white wine.
Add the dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Let the sauce cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
Add the raw shrimp to the skillet, making sure they are evenly distributed in the sauce.
Cover the skillet and let the shrimp cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the dish and cover the skillet again for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to soften slightly.
Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish.
Serve hot, with optional lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finishing touch. Pair with crusty bread, rice, or a light salad for a complete meal.
