Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant and wholesome one-pan dinner featuring tender shrimp nestled in a zesty tomato sauce with melted feta and fresh herbs.
Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and chop the red bell pepper. Clean and devein the shrimp if not already done.
Prepping everything beforehand makes the cooking process super smooth once the heat is on!
Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet or oven-proof pan over medium heat. Add the onion and bell pepper, sautéing until softened.
A pinch of salt here helps draw out the moisture from the onions.
Stir in the minced garlic and dried oregano, cooking for just about a minute until fragrant.
Don't let the garlic brown or it will turn bitter!
Pour in the crushed tomatoes. Bring to a gentle simmer and let the sauce thicken slightly. Preheat your oven broiler to high.
If the sauce gets too thick, add a splash of water or vegetable broth.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer over the sauce. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top.
You can press the shrimp slightly into the sauce to ensure they cook evenly.
Place the skillet under the broiler for 3-5 minutes until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the feta is slightly golden and bubbly.
Keep a close eye on it—broilers work fast!
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
A final squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before eating wakes up all the flavors.
This is a weeknight lifesaver! If you want a little extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. Make sure to use a high-quality feta—it makes all the difference when it melts into that creamy tomato base. Serve with a side of crusty whole-wheat bread to soak up every last drop of sauce. Healthy made easy!
