Greek Style Shrimp

When you need a dinner that feels special but comes together fast, this Greek Style Shrimp delivers every time. Tender shrimp bake in a bright tomato sauce infused with garlic, lemon, and oregano, then get topped with creamy feta that turns slightly golden under the broiler.

It’s the kind of dish that looks impressive enough for guests but is simple enough for a busy Tuesday night. Everything cooks in one ovenproof pan, and most of the ingredients are pantry staples — canned tomatoes, olive oil, dried oregano, and a squeeze of fresh lemon.

The shrimp cook quickly in the bubbling sauce, soaking up all that Mediterranean flavor. A sprinkle of fresh parsley at the end adds color and freshness, while warm bread on the side ensures not a drop of that sauce goes to waste.

Healthy, satisfying, and packed with bold flavor, this recipe is one you’ll find yourself making again and again.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 large shallot, minced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole or diced tomatoes

  • 1 small lemon (juice and zest reserved)

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 pinch chili flakes (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • Ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 4 ounces Greek feta cheese

  • Chopped parsley, to taste

  • French bread, focaccia, or favorite bread for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof sauté pan over low to medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 3 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for another minute.

  3. Stir in the tomatoes with their juices, lemon juice and zest, oregano, chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Increase heat to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes, until the liquid begins to reduce slightly.

  4. Add the shrimp to the sauce, nestling them into the tomatoes. Sprinkle with feta cheese.

  5. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.

  6. Turn the oven to broil and cook for 1 additional minute, until the feta is lightly golden.

  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with crusty bread.
