  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 4 cups cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 pound large shrimp (16-20 count), peeled, deveined and tails removed
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • Crusty bread (for serving)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the tomatoes.
  2. Toss Tomatoes: In a mixing bowl, combine the cherry or grape tomatoes with olive oil, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir well to ensure all tomatoes are evenly coated.
  3. Roast Tomatoes: Spread the tomato mixture on a baking sheet and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes become soft and start to burst, releasing their juices.
  4. Add Remaining Ingredients: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the chopped garlic, lemon juice, chopped parsley, and peeled shrimp. Gently stir everything together to combine.
  5. Top with Feta: Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp and tomato mixture.
  6. Bake Shrimp: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 12 to 13 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked through and the feta cheese is melted.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven, garnish with additional fresh parsley. Serve warm with crusty bread and lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For spicier heat, increase the crushed red pepper flakes to your preference.
  • Use fresh shrimp for best results; frozen shrimp should be completely thawed and patted dry before cooking.
  • Feel free to substitute fresh oregano for dried if available, adjust quantity accordingly.
  • Crusty bread is recommended to soak up the delicious juices from the tomatoes and shrimp.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
