This recipe from Cooking Light magazine is a super easy dish - especially if you purchase cleaned shrimp! My husband likes LOTS of olive oil, so I actually used several tablespoons - not so "light" anymore!

HERBY SHRIMP-AND-FETA BAKE
This shrimp bake gets the "low and slow" treatment in the oven, resulting in tender, perfectly cooked crustaceans without a hint of toughness. A saffron marinade and chopped fresh herbs up the elegance (and the flavor). Round it all out with creamy feta, and you have a sublime appetizer to serve with crusty bread.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Using a mortar and pestle, grind together lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt, saffron, and sugar. Add lemon juice and let stand 5 minutes. Add garlic; mash to a paste. Mash in herbs, then 2 tablespoons oil.
- In a bowl, toss shrimp with herb mixture; let stand 15 minutes. Arrange shrimp and feta in a shallow ovenproof dish just large enough to hold them snugly. Pour remaining 1/2 cup oil over top. Bake, spooning oil over shrimp occasionally, until shrimp are pink and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with more parsley and bread.
BAKED GREEK SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES AND FETA
This traditional Greek recipe disregards the notion that seafood and cheese don't mix, and it works beautifully, resulting in a harmonious balance of flavors. Though it can be made year round with canned tomatoes, it is sensational with fresh sweet ripe ones, so best prepared in summer. Serve it as a main course with rice or potatoes, or in small portions as an appetizer, taverna-style.

Steps:
- Put 4 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Lower heat as necessary to keep mixture from browning. Remove from heat while preparing tomatoes.
- Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add whole tomatoes and cook for about 2 minutes, until skins loosen. Immediately plunge tomatoes in a bowl of cold water to cool, then drain. With a paring knife, core tomatoes and slip off skins. Cut tomatoes into thick wedges.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Return skillet to stove over medium-high heat. Add tomato wedges and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until mixture is juicy and tomatoes have softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a shallow earthenware baking dish.
- Put shrimp in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, season shrimp with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Arrange shrimp over tomato mixture in one layer. Crumble cheese over surface and sprinkle with oregano.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until tomatoes are bubbling and cheese has browned slightly. Remove from oven and let dish rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with mint and serve.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm, have a translucent appearance, and have a mild, briny smell.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade helps to infuse the shrimp with flavor and moisture. Experiment with different combinations of herbs, spices, and citrus juices to create a marinade that suits your taste.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque: Overcooked shrimp are tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, or until they are pink and opaque throughout.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for bell peppers and tomatoes, but you can use any vegetables that you like. Some other good options include zucchini, mushrooms, and broccoli.
- Serve the shrimp with a flavorful sauce: A simple lemon-butter sauce or a creamy garlic sauce are both good options. You can also serve the shrimp with a side of rice or pasta.
Conclusion:
Baked shrimp with feta cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The shrimp are tender and flavorful, and the feta cheese adds a creamy, tangy flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
