This Mediterranean style Saucy Shrimp is ready in 15 minutes from start to finish, including all prep time. Serve over your grain of choice: couscous, polenta, rice, pasta, or with crusty bread! Recipe courtesy of my guest blogger, Alexandra.
Equipment
- rimmed baking sheet & large skillet
Ingredients
- 1-2 pints grape tomatoes
- 6 whole garlic cloves (or more, let's be honest)
- olive oil
- garlic salt
- 1 lb shrimp
- half a lemon
- 4 oz feta crumbles
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 4 oz baby spinach
Instructions
Roasted Tomatoes:
- Preheat oven to 375°. Place tomatoes and garlic on a small rimmed baking sheet. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle of garlic salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes while you are prepping the shrimp.
Shrimp & Sauce:
- Peel and de-tail the shrimp. Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a sprinkle of garlic salt. Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes per side (or until slightly crispy and pink on each side). You don’t want to overcook them!
- Reduce heat to low. Add juice of half a lemon and feta crumbles. Stir and let bubble for 1 minute. Add chicken broth. If desired, you can also add ½ cup dry white wine for more flavor. Stir and let bubble for 2-3 minutes. Add spinach.
- Remove the tomatoes from the oven and add to the skillet, including garlic and all juices. Stir and let the sauce thicken over low heat for a few minutes.
- It’s ready to serve over crusty bread or the grain of your choice (couscous, pasta, quinoa, or polenta)!
