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."

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH FETA AND TOMATOES
I got this recipe from our "Parade" Magazine. It was very good. I especially liked the vinaigrette. I served it on the side. Instead of radicchio (which my kids hate) I used a bag of Italian blend lettuce. I also halved the amount of mint leaves and used fresh oregano instead of dried. Great dinner for those hot summer nights.

SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES & FETA
Any recipe that is special enough for company but easy enough for a weeknight meal is a favorite in my book. All you need to finish off the meal is a side salad and crusty French bread to sop up the delicious tomato and wine juices. -Susan Seymour, Valatie, New York

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.
- 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.

Steps:
- Prepare a grill for high heat. Whisk garlic, oregano, salt, red pepper, and 2 Tbsp. oil in a large bowl. Add shrimp, zucchini, and tomatoes and toss to coat.

- Meanwhile, grill pita just until warm and toasted.
- Transfer shrimp mixture to a large bowl and toss until coated with tomato juices. Divide among plates and top with feta. Serve with pita alongside.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: For best results, use large, fresh shrimp that have been deveined and peeled.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs infuses them with flavor and helps keep them moist during grilling.
- Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help sear the shrimp quickly and evenly, preventing them from overcooking.
- Don't overcrowd the grill: Overcrowding the grill will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly.
- Cook the shrimp until they are opaque: The shrimp are done cooking when they are opaque and firm to the touch.
- Serve immediately: Grilled shrimp are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy.
