Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and dry white wine, and stir well to combine.

Add the shrimp to the pan, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until they begin to turn pink.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese and grated kefalotyri (or mozzarella) evenly over the top of the shrimp and sauce.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and let cook for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the shrimp are fully cooked.

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and a slice of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
