http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/baked_shrimp_in_tomato_feta_sauce/

Serve with crusty bread for dipping or over orzo pasta

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 14.5-ounce cans of diced tomatoes (undrained)
  
• 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
• 1 Tbsp minced fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
• 1 to 1 1/4 pounds medium sized raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (can leave tails on), thaw if frozen
• Pinch of salt, more to taste
• Pinch black pepper, more to taste
• 3 ounces feta cheese (about 2/3 cup, crumbled)
• Juice of 1 small lemon
  

Variation:

2 heads fennel for onion

Boil 1 cup of orzo 5 minutes (quite al dente) and drain. Stir orzo into tomato mixture before adding shrimp and feta and baking. Turns out something like paella.

Method

1 Preheat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in a large, oven-proof skillet on medium high heat. Add the onions and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds more.

2 Add the tomatoes and bring to a simmer, reduce heat and let simmer for 5-10 minutes, until the juices thicken a bit.

3 Remove from heat. Stir in the herbs, shrimp, feta cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Place pan in oven and bake, uncovered, until shrimp are cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

4 Stir and season with juice of 1 lemon

Serve immediately. Serve with crusty French or Italian loaf bread, pasta, or rice.

Serves 4.
