Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 6 ounces block feta cheese, crumbled
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat shrimp dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in diced tomatoes and tomato sauce. Stir in oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 8-10 minutes to thicken slightly.
  5. Remove skillet from heat. Nestle shrimp evenly into the sauce. Scatter crumbled feta over the top.
  6. Transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until shrimp are pink and opaque and feta is soft.
  7. Carefully remove from oven. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

For best results, use a block of feta in brine rather than pre-crumbled. Ensure shrimp are patted dry before adding to prevent a watery sauce. Do not overcook the shrimp. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
