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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon hot red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 (28-ounce) can whole tomatoes in juice, drained, reserving juice, and chopped
Pinch of sugar
1 1/4 pound large peeled and deveined shrimp
1/4 pound feta, crumbled (2/3 cup)
2 tablespoons chopped dill
Accompaniments: crusty bread or steamed white rice; a green salad
a green salad

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
  • Cook onion and garlic in oil with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in spices and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add chopped tomatoes with juice and sugar and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Season shrimp with 1/8 teaspoon salt, then stir into tomato sauce. Transfer to a 2-quart shallow baking dish and top with feta. Bake until just cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve sprinkled with dill.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you must use frozen shrimp, thaw them properly in the refrigerator overnight or under cold running water for 30 minutes.
  • Clean the shrimp properly: Before cooking, remove the shells and devein the shrimp. This will help to remove any grit or sand from the shrimp.
  • Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs will help to add flavor and keep them moist during baking.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important not to overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Serve immediately: Greek baked shrimp are best served immediately after they are cooked. This will help to ensure that they are still hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Greek baked shrimp with feta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The shrimp are tender and flavorful, and the feta cheese adds a creamy, tangy flavor. This dish can be served as an appetizer or main course, and it is sure to please everyone at the table.
