Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 14 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 pound large raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.75 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 4 lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, heat olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

Step 5

Stir in the rice and stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and layer the shrimp evenly over the partially cooked rice. Do not stir.

Step 7

In a small bowl, combine the crumbled feta and panko breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the shrimp and rice.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet or baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the shrimp are cooked through, the rice is tender, and the topping is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
