Spicy Shrimp Dinner

    My mom made this recipe the other night using a recipe she found in Better Homes and Gardens...I think.  She said it was super easy and delicious.  I borrowed the rest of her olives and threw this dish together for something different tonight.


Spicy Shrimp Dinner

Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 tsp crushed red pepper
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup kalamata olives, halved
1 lb raw shrimp
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp dill
1 tbsp parsley
3 oz feta cheese

Method
1. Heat oil in skillet.  Then add the onion, garlic, and crushed red pepper.  Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes, olives, shrimp, and dried oregano.  Cook for another 5 minutes.
3. Add the dill, parsley, and feta.  Stir and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
4. Season with black pepper to suit your taste and then serve over rice.

The Taste Test
     I am not a huge fan of spicy dishes but this dinner was very flavorful without being out of control.  It was really simple to pull together and it offers a nice change to our usual dinner routines.  I think this dish would be equally as good without the red pepper...just my opinion!
