Greek Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

This super easy Baked Shrimp Recipe is so easy.  If you make it once you will make it hundred times!  20 Minutes from start to table and comes in  at less than 300 calories per serving!  Yay!

This dinner meets all my requirements.  Fast, Easy and Healthy!  It definitely falls into my  Fast and Fresh Category.

I have had this on my ‘recipes to blog’ list for at least a year.  Somehow it keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the pile.  Chicken trumps shrimp??  We cook a ton of chicken around here!

I found this in an old Cooking Light cookbook that is no longer available. (which is too bad because it is my favorite cookbook ever!  It looks like this, just in case you ever run across it at a bookstore or a garage sale…I am so old :).

I have made a few modifications to make this even easier without sacrificing any of the flavor…of course!

I am happy to say I finally stepped out of my chicken rut and whipped up a batch of this because it was as good as I remembered and even easier to make.

How to make this Easy Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

You simply sauté up some onion and garlic.  Open up a couple cans of diced tomatoes and throw those in the pan.

Add your shrimp and feta and bake for 10-12 minutes.  You can use the same skillet to bake the shrimp in if you have an oven proof model.  I poured mine in a casserole dish ’cause I wanted it to be all pretty and stuff for you….

I served it over cooked Orzo, but a baguette and a salad would be a great combo too.

This doubles as a fabulous appetizer as well!

Notes:

• I bought my shrimp, frozen raw with tail on 31-40 count.  (Costco).
• I used canned roasted diced tomatoes but regular diced will work just fine.
• Taste your sauce before you add the shrimp for seasoning.  More salt or pepper?
• Kalamata’s are optional but add a really nice salty kick

Hope you enjoy this super easy recipe!  You can check out a few more of my Fast and Fresh Recipe collection here!
