Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 small red onion (chopped)
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 0.25 cup dry white wine (optional)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup feta cheese (crumbled)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 4 lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and chopped red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the onion softens.
Stir in the diced tomatoes (with their juice) and tomato paste, mixing well.
Add the dry white wine (if using), dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, making sure they are evenly distributed in the sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and fully cooked through.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the shrimp and tomato mixture. Cover the skillet and let it cook for 1-2 minutes until the cheese becomes slightly soft.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy with crusty bread or over cooked rice for a complete meal.
