1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 to 2 tsp smoked Spanish paprika
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1/2 tsp ground coriander

4 garlic cloves, (chopped)
1/2 green bell pepper and 1/2 yellow bell pepper, (cored and sliced)
1 cup canned diced tomato

Categories     Main Course

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound large shrimp (40 to 50 per pound peeled, deveined shrimp, tails on or off (fresh or frozen and thawed))
¾ teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (divided)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small red onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced (about 2 teaspoons))
1 14.5-ounce can fire roasted diced tomatoes in their juices
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts (drained and quartered)
½ cup pitted Kalamata olives
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from about ½ medium lemon)
For serving: rice (whole wheat couscous, crusty bread, pasta (optional))

Steps:

  • Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Pat the shrimp dry, place in a mixing bowl, and sprinkle with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat, then set aside.
  • In a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add onion and sprinkle with the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat as needed so that the onion softens but does not brown. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let gently simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the red wine vinegar and honey. Remove from the heat.
  • Scatter the artichokes and olives over the top, then arrange the shrimp on top in a single layer. Sprinkle with the feta.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the tomatoes are bubbling, cheese has browned slightly, and the shrimp are cooked through. Squeeze the lemon juice over the top and sprinkle with parsley. Enjoy hot.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured out. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Look for plump, brightly colored shrimp, and fresh, crisp vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the shrimp, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the shrimp from cooking evenly and will result in steamed shrimp instead of seared shrimp.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through: Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery. Cook them until they are just opaque and pink in the center, then remove them from the pan immediately.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers, zucchini, and tomatoes, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include broccoli, carrots, snap peas, and mushrooms.
  • Season the dish to taste: Don't be afraid to add more salt, pepper, or other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil at the end of cooking for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This Mediterranean shrimp skillet is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give this recipe a try.
