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.

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.

SPAGHETTI WITH SHRIMP, KALE AND TOMATOES



Spaghetti With Shrimp, Kale and Tomatoes image

I like to use black kale for this. I blanch it in the pasta cooking water, then I add the chopped blanched leaves to the tomato sauce at the end of cooking, just so they will heat through and soften a little more. I sear the shrimp and make the tomato sauce in the same pan. You can toss shrimp in the tomato sauce or just top each serving with them, which is the way to go if there are vegetarians at the table.

Categories     dinner, quick, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium-size bunch black kale, stemmed and washed well in 2 changes water
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
12 medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Freshly ground pepper to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (to taste)
1-14 1/2-ounce can chopped tomatoes in juice
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 to 1 teaspoon oregano or thyme (to taste)
3/4 pound spaghetti
Crumbled feta or freshly grated Parmesan for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Fill a large pasta pot with water and bring to a boil. Add salt to taste and the kale. Boil 2 to 3 minutes, until tender, then using a Chinese skimmer, a strainer or a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of cold water (do not drain water in the pot; you'll use it for the pasta). Drain kale and a handful at a time, squeeze out excess water. Chop medium fine and set aside.
  • (You can do this step while you are waiting for the water to come to a boil for the kale). Season shrimp with salt and pepper to taste. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, heavy skillet or a wide saucepan and add shrimp. Do not stir for a minute, then turn shrimp and toss in the pan until seared on the edges, pink and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • Turn heat down to medium and add garlic and hot pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 10 to 20 seconds (the pan will be quite hot), and stir in tomatoes with liquid, sugar, salt and oregano or thyme. Turn heat up to medium-high and stir often as tomatoes come to a brisk boil. Turn heat down to medium and cook, stirring often, until tomatoes have cooked down and taste very fragrant, about 10 minutes. Stir in kale and simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp or keep separate, remove from the heat and keep warm. If sauce seems dry you can add some cooking water from the pasta.
  • Bring water in pot back to a boil and add spaghetti. Cook al dente, following timing instructions on the package but checking for doneness a minute before the indicated time. Set aside 1/2 cup of the cooking water from the pasta, in case you want to moisten the sauce more, drain pasta and toss with tomato and kale mixture. Add water from the pasta only if you think the mixture seems dry. Serve the pasta and top each serving with 3 shrimp if you haven't tossed the shrimp with the sauce. Pass crumbled feta or grated Parmesan at the table for sprinkling.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for plump, juicy shrimp, fresh kale, and ripe tomatoes.
  • Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp are tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the shrimp will not cook evenly. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Greek cuisine. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Season the dish to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of feta cheese.
