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.

  • 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.

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.

SHEET-PAN SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES, FETA AND OREGANO



Sheet-Pan Shrimp With Tomatoes, Feta and Oregano image

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 TOMATO AND FETA



Grilled Shrimp with Tomato and Feta image

Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 1/2 pounds large shrimp (21 to 24), shelled and deveined
1 pint cherry tomatoes, trimmed
Canola oil, for brushing the skewers
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Greek extra-virgin olive oil, for cooking
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 shallot, chopped
1/4 cup white wine
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
Pinch ground cinnamon
Pinch red pepper flakes
Clover honey, for sweetening
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint, plus sprigs for garnish
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
Finely grated fresh lemon zest
8 ounces Greek feta, patted dry and crumbled
6 pita breads, warmed, for serving
Special equipment: Wooden skewers, soaked in cold water for 2 hours

Steps:

  • For the shrimp: Prepare a charcoal grill for high direct heat. Skewer a few shrimp onto 2 skewers so the shrimp lay flat. Do the same with the tomatoes. Brush the skewers with canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the tomatoes first, until slightly charred on both sides and soft, about 2 minutes each side. Reserve the shrimp skewers to the side.
  • Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook the garlic and shallots until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the grilled tomatoes, wine, paprika, cinnamon, red pepper flakes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer. Crush the tomatoes with a spoon. Cook until the sauce thickens. Taste; add some honey if the tomatoes aren't sweet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir in the mint, oregano and lemon zest.
  • Grill the shrimp until just cooked through and slightly charred, about 1 1/2 minutes each side. Remove the shrimp from the skewers and add to the tomato mixture. Toss the shrimp just to coat and transfer to a platter. Top the shrimp with the feta and mint sprigs and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with the pitas to dip in tomato juices.

Tips:

  • Select Fresh Ingredients: Use plump and firm shrimp, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful feta cheese. Fresh ingredients will elevate the overall taste of the salad.
  • Properly Clean and Devein Shrimp: Ensure the shrimp is thoroughly cleaned and deveined to remove any impurities and ensure a clean taste.
  • Marinate the Shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices enhances its flavor and makes it more succulent.
  • Cook Shrimp Perfectly: Cook the shrimp until they turn opaque and slightly pink, being careful not to overcook them to prevent rubberiness.
  • Use High-Quality Feta Cheese: Opt for a good quality feta cheese that is creamy and flavorful. Crumbled feta adds a tangy and salty element to the salad.
  • Choose a Variety of Tomatoes: Incorporate a mix of colorful tomatoes, such as cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, or heirloom tomatoes, to add visual appeal and flavor.
  • Fresh Herbs and Spices: Use fresh herbs like basil, oregano, or thyme to add a burst of flavor to the salad. Additionally, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or paprika can add a touch of heat.
  • Prepare Dressing in Advance: Make the dressing ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld and enhance. A simple vinaigrette with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper is a classic choice.
  • Enjoy the Salad Fresh: Shrimp tomato and feta salad is best enjoyed fresh. The flavors are at their peak when the salad is served shortly after preparation.
