Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 scallions chopped, green and white parts only
  • 4 garlic cloves thinly sliced (about 2 generous tablespoons)
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 pints cherry or grape tomatoes halved (about 16 ounces)
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 ½ pounds large shrimp peeled, deveined, and tails removed
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • 4 ounces feta cheese crumbled

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 475° with rack set in upper third of oven.
  • Heat oil in a large, oven-ready skillet (not non-stick) over medium heat. Add scallions, garlic, and oregano. Cook for about one minute, until the oregano releases its fragrance. The oregano will darken, but do not let the garlic brown.
  • Stir in tomatoes, salt and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes, or until tomatoes start to blister.
  • Add shrimp to skillet and top with feta.
  • Place skillet in oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until the juices are bubbling, the shrimp are pink, and the cheese is starting to brown at edges.
  • Remove and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, plate and enjoy!

Notes

Because of the high salt content in feta it will not melt, but brown on top.
