Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • 14 ounces crushed tomatoes (canned)
  • 1 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
  • 0.5 cups kalamata olives, halved and pitted
  • 0.5 cups feta cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 lemon wedges
  • 2 cups cooked couscous or rice (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir in the dried oregano. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to slightly thicken and allow the flavors to meld.

Step 4

Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, turning the shrimp occasionally, until they turn pink and are cooked through.

Step 5

Stir in the kalamata olives and half of the crumbled feta cheese. Let everything cook for another 2 minutes to warm through.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the dish with the remaining feta cheese and chopped parsley.

Step 7

Serve the Greek Shrimp immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Optionally, spoon the shrimp and sauce over cooked couscous or rice for a complete meal.
