Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

     This was a simple dish that took only minutes to put together and then just 12 minutes in the oven.  Perfect for a weeknight meal.

Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta


Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans of diced tomatoes
2 tbsp parsley
1 lb raw shrimp
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2/3 cup of crumbled feta cheese

Method
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Heat the oil in an oven proof skillet if you have one.  Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.  Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
3.  Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until the tomato mixture begins to thicken.
4. Remove from heat and add parsley and shrimp.  Season with salt and pepper.  I wasn't sure about putting my skillet in the oven, so at this point I just transferred everything to a baking dish and sprinkled the feta over the top.
5. Bake in oven until the shrimp are cooked, about 12 minutes.

The Taste Test
     This was a very light and fresh tasting dinner.  I bet it would also taste great with fresh tomatoes.
