Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 pound Medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 small Red onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, diced
• 15 ounces Canned no-salt-added crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup Dry white wine
• 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled (low sodium if available)
• 0.5 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.25 cup Fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the garlic, red onion, and red bell pepper. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the bell pepper softens.

Step 3

Pour in the dry white wine and let it simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate.

Step 4

Add the crushed tomatoes and stir to combine. Sprinkle in the dried oregano, freshly ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Simmer the sauce for 5-6 minutes until it slightly thickens.

Step 5

Gently place the shrimp into the sauce, ensuring they are covered. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp and sauce.

Step 7

Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 5 minutes or until the feta is slightly melted and bubbling.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped parsley and dill before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with crusty bread or over a bed of rice.
