This Mediterranean-inspired shrimp bake combines succulent shrimp with a rich tomato sauce, aromatic herbs, and creamy feta cheese for a delightful dish.
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture for the shrimp.
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Rinse and pat them dry.
Keeping the tails on adds a nice presentation touch and makes them easier to handle.
In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Adding a pinch of salt while sautéing onions helps them release their moisture and cook evenly.
Add the minced garlic and sliced green onions to the pan. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, white wine, half of the chopped parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together, creating a rich and aromatic sauce.
Spread half of the sauce in a shallow casserole dish. Arrange the shrimp on top in a single layer.
Arranging the shrimp in a single layer ensures even cooking.
Pour the remaining sauce over the shrimp and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly on top.
Distributing the feta evenly ensures every bite has a burst of creamy flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and the feta is lightly browned.
Keep an eye on the dish to avoid overcooking the shrimp, as they can become rubbery.
Garnish with the remaining parsley and serve warm.
Serving immediately ensures the dish is enjoyed at its peak flavor and texture.
