When I saw this recipe for shrimp with tomatoes and feta I knew straight away we would be trying it.
This is another gem from the cookbook Culinary Journey to the Mediterranean. Easy and fairly inexpensive. I say inexpensive because shrimp are usually on sale here in Florida.
Having a meal like this brings an illusion of warmth and respite from the cold temps we have been experiencing.
Ingredients...........
2 TB olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
1 can (28 oz.) Italian style plum tomatoes, drained, cut up
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 tsp oregano
12 oz. medium shrimp, cleaned
1 pkg. Athenos crumbled feta cheese
2 TB chopped parsley
Directions.....
Heat oil in large skillet. Add onion and cook about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, wine and oregano. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, or until thickened.
Add shrimp. Cook 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until, they are pink.
Sprinkle with cheese. Simmer 1 minute. Stir in parsley. Serve with hot cooked rice and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
Prep time is 20 minutes. Cooking time is 12 minutes

I think this dish would chase away any blues - winter or otherwise. Actually I can't really believe you even have winter in Florida!
ReplyDeleteI ate a dish like this many times when I was in Greece - it's one of my favourites.
Happy New Year to you, Tina

I love shrimp...I love feta....so this sounds delightful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue and happy new year to you! Seriously, you are in summer temps now, right? It is 38 F (so about 3 3 C) and I am nursing a hot coffee while the heater drones on.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rebecca. We sure love our shrimp and while it's a summery type meal, it's welcome year round.
Thanks Caite.
ReplyDeleteGreat timing! I happen to have all the ingredients in the house and was ust wondering if I could get away with delaying the grocery shopping until tomorrow. Now I can!
ReplyDeleteBeth, I will certainly link to your post with the recipe when I make it.
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks super yummy. Will give it a try.
ReplyDeleteWhat a simple and tasty recipe, thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteWell, this sounds simple and very tasty. Thank you for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteLove the feta in this! It does look like it is a reminder of a warmer climate!
ReplyDeleteLike the heck out of this - sounds really tasty and with the salty feta against the sweetness of the tomatoes, I know it was a big hit... hope all are doing fine and your New Year is off to a good start... wishing everyone the best... give Kobe and Aja a treat and tell them they have many fans...
ReplyDeleteI love feta, but the rest of my family doesn't, so I'd need to go easy on it. Sounds really good, though. I haven't had shrimp in a long time!
ReplyDeleteOh, my kids would love this and I'll have to wait to make it on a day when husband isn't home; he's allergic to shell fish. Looks great though.
ReplyDeleteYum! My daughter would LOVE this.
