Saucy Greek Baked Shrimp
I made this baked shrimp recipe as a simple skillet dinner but if you'd prefer to serve it at the table, simply transfer it to a baking dish suitable to serve at the table rather than using the skillet.
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound large peeled and deveined shrimp (I like the Key West Pinks)
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3 garlic cloves pressed or minced
- 1 15- ounce can crushed tomatoes
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Rinse and pat the shrimp dry and place in a bowl. Season with the red pepper flakes and kosher salt and set aside.
- Drizzle the olive oil in a heavy skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spices and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and simmer, uncovered, for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Remove from the heat and place the shrimp into the tomato sauce and crumble the feta cheese over the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through.
- Sprinkle with the dill and serve with crusty bread for dipping up the awesomesauce.
