Add shrimp, feta cheese and fresh oregano to your Every Day On-Hand Essentials list and you'll have all you need to make this saucy fish dish.

8 Servings
Prep 10 min
Cook 40 min

Ingredients:

2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Juice of 1 lemon, plus wedges for serving
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 cup tomato puree
2 tablespoons fresh oregano leaves, chopped
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper
1/2 pound feta cheese, crumbled

Swap it
Use basil or thyme in place of oregano.

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°. On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the shrimp with the lemon juice and arrange in a single layer. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato puree, oregano, bay leaf and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Discard the bay leaf and pour the sauce over the shrimp; sprinkle the feta on top. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then place under the broiler until the feta is lightly browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve with the lemon wedges.
