Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and gently stir in the shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the shrimp and tomato mixture.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink, opaque, and fully cooked through.
