Ingredients
2 pounds Shrimp, peeled and deveined (16/20 size)
3 tablespoons Olive oil
¼ cup Shallots, minced
2 tablespoons Garlic, sliced
⅓ cup Dry white wine
¾ teaspoons Turkish oregano
½ teaspoon Red pepper flakes
1½ cups Tomato sauce
to taste Kosher salt
to taste Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon Fresh flat leaf parsley, minced
¼ cup Crumbled feta cheese
Directions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once shimmering, add the minced shallots and sliced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the dry white wine and scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to deglaze, releasing any flavorful browned bits. Let simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the tomato sauce, Turkish oregano, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Add the shrimp to the tomato sauce and stir to coat evenly. Continue cooking for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
Remove from heat and divide the shrimp and sauce among four serving bowls or plates. Top each portion with crumbled feta cheese and a generous sprinkle of fresh minced parsley. Serve immediately.
Comments
This recipe hits hard for Charlotte: shrimp arrives fresh year-round from the North Carolina coast, and all remaining ingredients—olive oil, garlic, shallots, feta, canned tomato sauce, oregano—stock easily at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, or Walmart with no specialty detours required. At roughly $3–4 per serving (shrimp is the driver at $12–15 per pound, but 1.25 pounds serves four), it's a legitimate weeknight splurge. The stated 30 minutes is honest: shallots and garlic take a quick dice, sauce simmers unattended for 10 minutes while shrimp cooks through in 3–4 minutes, and this is a true hands-off finish. It reheats beautifully—feta stays creamy, tomato-shrimp sauce deepens overnight—and feels substantial enough to feed a family without fussiness or constant stirring.
