Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large red onion, thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
- Kosher salt
- 4 medium cloves garlic, minced or grated with a Microplane (about 4 teaspoons)
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano, plus more for garnish
- ½ tablespoon dried red chile flakes
- 2 (28-ounce) cans whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped, juice reserved
- 20 large peeled and deveined shrimp (about 1 1/2 pounds)
- 2 cups crumbled feta
- Crusty bread, for serving
Directions
-
1.
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring until they soften, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, oregano, and chili flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and their juice.
-
2.
As the tomatoes soften, break them up with a potato masher or wooden spoon. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes come to a boil. Lower thheat to maintain a bare simmer and cook for 20 minutes, adding up to 1/2 cup water is sauce becomes too thick.
-
3.
Add the shrimp and 1 ½ cups of the feta, stirring to combine. Cook until the shrimp are barely cooked through, about 3 minutes. Place in serving bowls and top with the remaining feta and a pinch of oregano. Serve immediately with bread.
