Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.5 cup feta cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0 optional cooked linguine or crusty bread, for serving

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat them dry with paper towels, and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and starts to bubble.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn the garlic.

Step 4

Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften and release their juices.

Step 5

Pour the white wine into the skillet and stir well, scraping up any bits stuck to the pan. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 6

Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, oregano, and lemon juice. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning the shrimp once, until they are pink and opaque.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese on top, allowing it to soften slightly.

Step 8

Garnish the dish with fresh parsley and dill before serving. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve immediately over cooked linguine, or alongside crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
