baked shrimp in tomato feta

can i tell you how easy this is, and how freaking delicious? karin licked the plate, practically. the folks who cooked murmured. and my husband, who ate it first, was unhappy that i took the leftovers for an appetizer to a friend's steak grill on any given friday, after the bistro. so there you are. it even keeps. 's a keeper.

Ingredients

* 1 Tbsp olive oil
* 1 medium onion, chopped
* 2 cloves garlic, minced
* 2 14.5-ounce cans of diced tomatoes
* 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
* 1 Tbsp minced fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
* 1 to 1 1/4 pounds medium sized raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (can leave tails on), thaw if frozen
* Pinch of salt, more to taste
* Pinch black pepper, more to taste
* 3 ounces feta cheese (about 2/3 cup, crumbled)


Method

1 Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet on medium high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more.

2 Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer, reduce heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the juices thicken a bit.

3 Remove from heat. Stir in the herbs, shrimp, feta cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Place pan in oven and bake until shrimp are cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

Serve immediately. Serve with crusty French or Italian loaf bread, pasta, or rice.

Serves 4.
