Yum, yum, yum, is all I can say. This Greek-style shrimp saganaki is quick and easy to make. Make sure to have some crusty bread to sop up the sauce.

Serves: 4 Prep time: 10 minutes Cook time: 40 minutes Total time: 50 minutes

INGREDIENTS

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

3/4 cup finely chopped shallots, from about 3 shallots

4 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

1 (28-oz) can diced tomatoes

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon honey

1 1/2 pounds extra-large shrimp (26/30); peeled and deveined, thawed if frozen

6 ounces feta cheese

3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh mint

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400F, set the oven rack in the middle position and another about 5 inches underneath the broiler

Heat the olive oil in a wide oven-proof skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and garlic, cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-7 minutes. Do not brown.

Add the tomatoes with their juices, salt, pepper, cumin, red pepper flakes, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.

Off the heat, arrange the shrimp over the tomato sauce in an even layer. Crumble the feta over the shrimp, and then sprinkle with the oregano. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked. Turn on the broiler. Using an oven mitt, carefully transfer the pan to the higher oven rack and broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the feta is golden brown in spots. Remove the pan from the oven. Let the shrimp rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with the mint and serve.

Bon Appetit!😋
