I found some delicious looking shrimp at the market yesterday. I got them, and then looked for a recipe that sounded good using other ingredients that I had on hand. This was the one I chose, and it was to-die-for good!


INGREDIENTS

2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1⁄2 small yellow onion, peeled and chopped
1-2 Tbsp hot green chile, stemmed and chopped, depending on heat desired
1 1⁄4 cups chopped peeled ripe tomatoes, including
the juice
1 lb. large shrimp, bodies peeled, deveined
4 oz. quality *Greek feta, coarsely crumbled (If you use "American" feta it will alter the end result. I'm sure it will still be good, but, I really recommend the Greek version if you can get it)
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. chopped parsley leaves

DIRECTIONS

Preheat broiler. Heat olive oil in heavy skillet over medium heat (preferably heat resistant so you can put it under the broiler). Add onions and chiles and cook, stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes and lemon juice. Simmer sauce until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Arrange shrimp in dish, spoon some sauce on top, and continue to simmer, covered, I just used aluminum foil, until shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 1–2 minutes per side.
Scatter feta around shrimp, then transfer dish to broiler and broil until feta begins to melt, 1–2 minutes. Remove dish from broiler.

Garnish dish with parsley and serve. I paired it with rice.

The flavors melded togehter in a heavenly way. This dish was delicious Smiling
