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."

Steps:
- Toss shrimp, 1 tablespoon oil, 1 tablespoon optional ouzo, 1 teaspoon garlic, lemon zest, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper in small bowl until well combined. Set aside while preparing sauce.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onion, green bell pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Cover skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables release their moisture, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until moisture cooks off and vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes longer. Add remaining 4 teaspoons garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes and reserved juice, wine, and remaining 2 tablespoons ouzo (if using) increase heat to medium-high and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors have melded and sauce is slightly thickened (sauce should not be completely dry), 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add shrimp along with any accumulated liquid to pan; stir to coat and distribute evenly. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are opaque throughout, 6 to 9 minutes for extra-large or 7 to 11 minutes for jumbo, adjusting heat as needed to maintain bare simmer. Remove pan from heat and sprinkle evenly with feta. Drizzle remaining tablespoon oil evenly over top and sprinkle with dill.
- Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh, succulent shrimp: The quality of your shrimp will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for shrimp that are bright pink or orange in color, and avoid any that are gray or slimy.
- Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The tomatoes in this dish provide a lot of flavor, so it's important to use ripe, juicy ones. Heirloom tomatoes are a great choice.
- Don't skimp on the feta cheese: Feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor to this dish. Use a good quality feta cheese, and crumble it generously over the shrimp and tomatoes.
- Serve the shrimp with crusty bread or rice: This dish is perfect for serving with crusty bread or rice. The bread or rice will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
This Greek-style shrimp with tomatoes and feta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp is succulent and flavorful, the tomatoes are sweet and juicy, and the feta cheese adds a salty, tangy flavor. Serve this dish with crusty bread or rice, and you'll have a meal that the whole family will enjoy.
