BAKED GREEK SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES AND FETA



Baked Greek Shrimp With Tomatoes and Feta image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Extra-virgin olive oil
3 large shallots, diced, about 1 cup
4 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper
2 pounds large ripe tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 ounces Greek feta cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons roughly chopped mint

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.

Greek Tomato Feta Fritters (Domatokeftethes) image

I'm showing you my take on domatokeftethes. These are incredibly delicious, versatile, and inexpensive, and they make a perfect summertime appetizer. Serve with freshly squeezed lemon, tzatziki sauce, or just plain Greek yogurt seasoned with raw minced garlic and lemon juice to taste.

Categories     Greek Appetizers

Time 1h5m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups diced fresh tomatoes with juices
½ cup packed grated zucchini
⅓ cup sliced green onions
2 teaspoons kosher salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon white sugar
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
1 pinch cayenne pepper
¼ cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
3 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
¾ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
¾ teaspoon baking powder
vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Stir together tomatoes, zucchini, green onions, kosher salt, sugar, black pepper, oregano, and cayenne in a bowl to combine.
  • Let sit for 15 minutes for the sugar and salt to draw out liquids from the vegetables.
  • Stir the tomato mixture; add parsley, mint, and basil. Crumble in feta cheese. Add flour and baking powder; mix with a spoon until combined. Batter should be relatively loose but will hold its shape on a spoon. If too loose, add more flour; if too dry, add some water until desired consistency is reached.
  • Wrap the bowl in plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  • Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), or use a deep fryer.
  • Place heaping tablespoonfuls of batter in the hot oil; reduce heat to medium. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Flip once more and fry for an additional 30 seconds, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

GREEK SHRIMP WITH FETA



Greek Shrimp With Feta image

I searched high and low for a Greek recipe for shrimp that included all the basics- tomatoes, garlic, oregano and of course, feta- and I couldn't find anything, so I took a couple recipes and tweaked them to my family's taste, and voila! This has been a hit since the first time I made it... it's full of flavor, rich but not too heavy! You can play around with the amounts given for any ingredient to satisfy your taste, but any way you make it, it turns out fabulous! We usually serve this as an appetizer with baguette to soak up the sauce... delicious!!!

GREEK RICE AND SHRIMP BAKE WITH FETA CRUMB TOPPING



Greek Rice and Shrimp Bake With Feta Crumb Topping image

This Greek spin on the classic baked rice casserole calls for shrimp, but chicken can also be used. Cut three large boneless chicken breasts into cubes and brown first in oil in a hot skillet before adding to cooked rice. If you plan on doubling the recipe, use 2 1/2 cups (625 mL) rice and only 4 1/2 cups (1.125 L) stock. From Food and Drink.
