Provided by Ina Garten

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 tablespoons good olive oil, divided
1 1/2 cups medium-diced fennel
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon Pernod
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 pounds (16 to 20 per pound) peeled shrimp with tails on
5 ounces good feta cheese, coarsely crumbled
1 cup fresh bread crumbs (see note)
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 lemons

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 10-or 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat. Add the fennel and saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until the fennel is tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the tomatoes with the liquid, tomato paste, oregano, Pernod, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Arrange the shrimp, tails up, in one layer over the tomato-mixture in the skillet. Scatter the feta evenly over the shrimp. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, and lemon zest with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle over the shrimp.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked and the bread crumbs are golden brown. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the shrimp. Serve hot with the remaining lemon cut into wedges.

BAKED GREEK SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES AND FETA



Baked Greek Shrimp With Tomatoes and Feta image

This traditional Greek recipe disregards the notion that seafood and cheese don't mix, and it works beautifully, resulting in a harmonious balance of flavors. Though it can be made year round with canned tomatoes, it is sensational with fresh sweet ripe ones, so best prepared in summer. Serve it as a main course with rice or potatoes, or in small portions as an appetizer, taverna-style.

Categories     lunch, salads and dressings, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Extra-virgin olive oil
3 large shallots, diced, about 1 cup
4 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper
2 pounds large ripe tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 ounces Greek feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons roughly chopped mint

Steps:

  • Put 4 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Lower heat as necessary to keep mixture from browning. Remove from heat while preparing tomatoes.
  • Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add whole tomatoes and cook for about 2 minutes, until skins loosen. Immediately plunge tomatoes in a bowl of cold water to cool, then drain. With a paring knife, core tomatoes and slip off skins. Cut tomatoes into thick wedges.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Return skillet to stove over medium-high heat. Add tomato wedges and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until mixture is juicy and tomatoes have softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a shallow earthenware baking dish.
  • Put shrimp in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, season shrimp with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Arrange shrimp over tomato mixture in one layer. Crumble cheese over surface and sprinkle with oregano.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until tomatoes are bubbling and cheese has browned slightly. Remove from oven and let dish rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with mint and serve.

HERBY SHRIMP-AND-FETA BAKE



Herby Shrimp-and-Feta Bake image

This shrimp bake gets the "low and slow" treatment in the oven, resulting in tender, perfectly cooked crustaceans without a hint of toughness. A saffron marinade and chopped fresh herbs up the elegance (and the flavor). Round it all out with creamy feta, and you have a sublime appetizer to serve with crusty bread.

Provided by Lauryn Tyrell

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh juice
Kosher salt
Pinch of saffron
Pinch of sugar
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced (1 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 ounces feta, drained and sliced
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250°F. Using a mortar and pestle, grind together lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt, saffron, and sugar. Add lemon juice and let stand 5 minutes. Add garlic; mash to a paste. Mash in herbs, then 2 tablespoons oil.
  • In a bowl, toss shrimp with herb mixture; let stand 15 minutes. Arrange shrimp and feta in a shallow ovenproof dish just large enough to hold them snugly. Pour remaining 1/2 cup oil over top. Bake, spooning oil over shrimp occasionally, until shrimp are pink and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with more parsley and bread.

GREEK BAKED SHRIMP WITH FETA



Greek Baked Shrimp with Feta image

This is a delicious recipe, and one I have enjoyed many times. It would make an excellent appetizer for entertaining as well as a great dinner idea!

Provided by PalatablePastime

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 1h10m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lbs large shrimp, uncooked
1 medium sized onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup chopped green onion
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups diced peeled tomatoes
1/2 cup dry white wine or 1/2 cup non-alcoholic wine
1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt
pepper
4 ounces fat-free feta cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Remove shells from shrimp, leaving last segment and tail intact; remove vein.
  • Rinse and dry.
  • In a pan saute onion in oil until transparent, (adding a few drops of water if necessary), add garlic and green onion and cook 2 minutes more.
  • To the onions add the tomatoes, wine, half the parsley, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes until thickened.
  • Pour half the sauce into a shallow casserole, and arrange the shrimp on top.
  • Pour the rest of the sauce on, and sprinkle crumbled feta over the shrimp.
  • Bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until prawns are pink and feta is lightly browned.
  • Garnish with remaining parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow incision along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Remove the vein, which is a thin, dark line running along the back of the shrimp.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a Ziploc bag. Simply cut off the corner of the bag and use it to pipe the feta cheese mixture into the shrimp.
  • For a crispier coating, double-coat the shrimp in the breadcrumb mixture. First, dip the shrimp in the egg wash, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Then, dip it in the egg wash again and coat it in the breadcrumb mixture a second time.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause the shrimp to steam instead of fry and will result in a soggy coating.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Feta-stuffed shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. The shrimp are juicy and flavorful, and the feta cheese filling adds a creamy and tangy flavor. The breadcrumb coating gives the shrimp a crispy and golden-brown exterior. Serve the shrimp with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, tartar sauce, or cocktail sauce.
