Ingredients

Ingredients

2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 lb. md. shrimp, shelled
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pkg. (12 oz.) cherry tomatoes on the vine
1 tbsp. chopped fresh oregano or
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 cup dry white wine or
1/4 cup fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth
3 tbsp. chopped flat-leaf parsley
2 tbsp. crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese
1/2 tsp. salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir with a wooden spoon until they just lose their raw color, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the garlic, tomatoes, oregano and wine or broth. Cook, using a spoon to roll the tomatoes around, until most of the liquid has boiled off, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the parsley and cheese; cook 1 minute longer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Author's Comments

Plump cherry tomatoes, sautéed just until their skin cracks, are the stars of this Greek-accented dish. The large cherry ones, also called cocktail tomatoes, that come in a net bag are best. Their flavor is worth the premium you pay. If you buy shelled shrimp, this dish is ready to cook in 5 minutes. <br />

Since we like garlic and spices, we upped the garlic to four cloves and doubled the oregano, plus added about 1/2 tsp. of crushed red pepper. This was absolutely scrumptious, a great blending of flavors.!
