Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cups dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 teaspoon oregano, dried
• 0.5 cups Kalamata olives, pitted and sliced
• 0.5 cups feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, and add them to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and lemon juice, and stir in the dried oregano. Bring to a simmer and let the mixture cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Stir in the Kalamata olives and return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss everything together and cook for 1-2 minutes until the shrimp is heated through.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle crumbled feta and chopped parsley over the top.

Step 8

Serve immediately with crusty bread, over pasta, or alongside a green salad. Enjoy!
