• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 units garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 0.5 cups feta cheese, crumbled
• 0.25 cups kalamata olives, pitted and sliced

• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 unit lemon, juiced
• 0.5 teaspoons salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse and pat dry the shrimp. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and chopped red onion to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Deglaze the skillet by adding the dry white wine, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Add the kalamata olives, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Add the shrimp to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and are cooked through.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top. Cover the skillet and let the cheese melt slightly, about 2 minutes.

Step 9

Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish and garnish with chopped parsley.

Step 10

Serve hot as is, or over a bed of rice, quinoa, or pasta. Enjoy!
