A delightful Mediterranean-inspired shrimp bake with a rich tomato sauce, tangy feta, and fresh herbs.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the right texture for the dish.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the onion from browning too much.
Add the red pepper flakes and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Stir in the diced tomatoes and salt, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
Use fresh tomatoes for a brighter flavor or canned for convenience.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce, and cook for 2 minutes.
Ensure the shrimp are evenly distributed in the sauce for even cooking.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
Use a shallow baking dish for a quicker cooking time.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is slightly melted.
For a golden finish, broil the dish for the last minute.
Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
