How to Make Baked Shrimp With Feta Cheese

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup chopped red bell peppers, 1 pound cleaned shrimp, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the skillet.
  4. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until shrimp is pink and opaque.
  5. Spoon the shrimp mixture into an 11 x 7 inch baking dish.
  6. Pour 1/4 cup dry white wine into the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
  7. Cook over low heat until the wine is reduced by half, about 8 minutes.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes and pour the sauce over the shrimp mixture in the baking dish.
  9. Sprinkle 4 ounces crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp and sauce.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the feta is golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Serve immediately over pasta (optional) and garnish with fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
