Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Tomato Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • one 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
Shrimp and Topping
  • 1 lb. uncooked shrimp
  • 8 oz / 225 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • fresh chopped parsley
  • lemon wedges for serving
Grilled Sourdough
  • 6-8 thick slices of sourdough bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter for the bread

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced shallot and diced bell pepper, then cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  2. Reduce the heat and add the crushed tomatoes, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and broth. Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes until it reduces slightly and darkens in color.
Grilling
  1. Melt the butter and brush it over the sourdough slices. Grill the bread in a pan or grill pan until crisp and golden, then wrap it in foil to keep warm.
Cooking
  1. Place the shrimp in a single layer in the tomato sauce. Cook for about 5 minutes, turning the shrimp once, until they are no longer translucent.
Topping
  1. Sprinkle the feta over the shrimp and sauce. Broil for 5 minutes or until the feta is browned.
Serving
  1. Finish with fresh chopped parsley and serve the skillet with grilled sourdough and lemon wedges.

Notes

Cook the shrimp until they are no longer translucent, then finish with the feta topping to help maintain a tender texture.
