I never knew it could be so good

shrimp with feta and tomatoes
aka "je ne sais shrimp"

I found this recipe in my new favorite book. I had my doubts, but let me tell you, even the finicky teenagers in my house LOVED it! Serve it up in bowls and supply spoons so that no sauce is left behind! The recipe states that it serves 4, but considering the nutritional information, we split this to serve 6 easily. There is plenty left over!

2 large onions, thinly sliced
1/3 cup olive oil, EVOO for the best flavor
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 large tomatoes, diced OR 2 cans diced, stewed tomatoes (I prefer Italian style organic)
2 tsp dill or oregano, your choice
3 TBSP parsley
1/8 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp sugar
2 lbs shrimp, raw OR cooked and peeled
1 lb feta cheese


1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Saute onions in the oil in an oven proof dutch oven until yellow and tender. Add garlic and saute briefly.

3. Add the tomatoes, dill or oregano, parsley, sugar and pepper. Cover and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

4. Add the shrimp and mix with the sauce. Crumble the feta on top. Bring to boil.

5. Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve.


Serves 4
