Marissa's MediterraneanA vibrant, one-pan seafood dinner featuring plump shrimp simmered in a zesty tomato and garlic sauce, topped with melted feta and fresh herbs.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to ensure they sear perfectly.
Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent.
Don't rush the onions; letting them soften slowly builds a sweet base for the sauce.
Stir in the minced garlic and dried oregano, cooking for another minute until the fragrance fills your kitchen.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it thicken slightly.
If the sauce looks too thick, add a splash of water or vegetable broth.
Nestle the shrimp into the tomato sauce in a single layer. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta over the top and cover the skillet for 2 minutes to let the cheese soften and slightly melt. Finish with a shower of fresh parsley before serving.
Serve this with a side of warm whole wheat pita or over a bed of fluffy couscous to soak up all that incredible tomato broth. If you want a little extra kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes goes a long way! For a dairy-free version, simply omit the feta, though that salty bite really completes the dish.
