An authentic Greek entree that is easy to make and makes you feel like you are in the Greek islands. My sister and I originally ate this dish at a restaurant in Santorini, Greece and went back 3 days in a row to order it again and analyze the ingredients so we could replicate it at home. It is easy to prepare ahead of time and stick in the oven so your cooking is complete before guests arrive! Serve over rice.

Directions

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, chopped parsley, tomatoes, and wine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened.

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).

  • Stir the shrimp into the tomato sauce, and cook for 2 minutes; remove from the heat. Pour the shrimp mixture into a shallow baking dish, and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until the feta has softened and the shrimp are no longer translucent, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Squeeze the lemon halves over the shrimp and garnish with the parsley sprigs to serve.

This is an amazing dish! I made it and especially loved the mix of feta with lemon! I served it over rice with some crusty bread and a greek salad. My guests raved; and the best part is that the whole thing can be made ahead of time, so I didn't have to be toiling int he kitchen while my guests were at the house. Read More

This wasn't quite as good as I expected but maybe it's because I half cooked it at home and that finished it off at a friend's house when I arrived. When I reheated the leftovers I sprinkled a little dried basil over it and it really gave the dish a flavor boost. Read More

Outstanding! So FULL of flavor! I served this over whole wheat rottini. I didn't have time to bake so after I simmered the wine mixture for an hour I added the shrimp to the skillet and cooked until pink. Then I added the feta a simmered for 5 minutes more. This one is a keeper!! Read More

The sauce was outstanding! The shrimp became overcooked. I will make this dish again, but I will cook the shrimp, sprinkle with the feta cheese and run it under the broiler for a few moments. Read More

OMG this recipe is out of this world! I made it for my husband and I and it is definitely one of our new favourites. I didn't cook it quite as long as the recipe suggests (I made it on a Tuesday after work) and pre-heated the oven to 325 (instead of 250) and only cooked it for about 20 minutes in the oven. Otherwise I followed the recipe pretty closely. You have to try it! The lemon at the end was the best!! Read More

Oh my goodness! This is so flavorful!!! I followed the recipe exactly although I might not have cooked it quite as long for each part. This is the most delicious dish! I know some substitute chicken broth for wine but I don't think you can do this with this recipe. The wine makes the dish. I served it over orzo with crusty bread. Read More

This was quite good. I'd give it 5 stars if it didn't take so long to make. I served it over Orzo and it had a wonderful flavor. Read More

Delicious! I didn't use cherry tomatoes but otherwise followed recipe pretty much as written. Served over pasta with steamed broccoli and homemade rosemary bread on the side. An easy but impressive meal! Read More

Loved this just loved it. I think you could substitute less expensive meats to make a less pricey dish probably even tofu for vegetarians but definitely make it with the shrimp sometime! Read More
