SHEET-PAN SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES, FETA AND OREGANO
Ready in 10 minutes, this Mark Bittman recipe from 2013 is a perfect weeknight recipe. It relies heavily on garlic, oregano and black pepper as a coating for the shrimp. Serve alongside a hearty salad or with a stack of flatbread for an easy meal. In his original piece, a roundup of shrimp recipes, he suggested wild shrimp from the Pacific or Gulf of Mexico, or fresh local shrimp from Maine or the Carolinas, if they're available to you. All, he wrote, are "preferable from a sustainability perspective."

BAKED GREEK SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES AND FETA
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.

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.

- 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.

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:
- Use fresh prawns: Fresh prawns have a sweeter and more delicate flavor than frozen prawns. If you must use frozen prawns, thaw them properly before cooking.
- Marinate the prawns: Marinating the prawns in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs helps to infuse them with flavor.
- Don't overcook the prawns: Prawns are very delicate and can easily become overcooked. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are opaque and pink.
- Serve the prawns immediately: Prawns are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will prevent them from becoming tough or rubbery.
Conclusion:
Greek baked prawns with tomatoes and feta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The prawns are marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs, then baked until they are cooked through. The tomatoes and feta add a touch of sweetness and creaminess to the dish. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
