Greek Shrimp With Tomatoes And Feta (garides Saganaki)
  1. In a small bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, the lemon zest, 1 tablespoon (or half) of the lemon juice, 1 clove of the minced garlic, ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Stir to coat and set aside.

  2. Sauté the diced onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet with a cover until softened and starting to brown (about 3 minutes).

  3. Add the remaining 2 cloves minced garlic, crushed red pepper (¼ teaspoon), and dried oregano (1 teaspoon) to the onions. Stir and continue sautéing until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  4. Add the white wine (¼ cup) and remaining lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon) and stir to deglaze, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Add the diced tomatoes (28 oz.) , and the remaining ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper to the skillet. Stir and bring to a simmer (you can cover if it gets too bubbly).

  5. Add the shrimp and any juices from the bowl into the tomato mixture and stir together. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until shrimp are almost cooked.

  6. Sprinkle the crumbled feta (6 oz.) on top and simmer uncovered for another 2-4 minutes, until shrimp are completely cooked and feta has melted (you can add the cover if it's splattering, but simmering uncovered will help it thicken a bit). Drizzle remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil on top.

  7. Serve, preferably with crusty bread, crostini, pita, rice, grits, or pasta, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
