HERBY SHRIMP-AND-FETA BAKE



Herby Shrimp-and-Feta Bake image

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.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon fresh juice
Kosher salt
Pinch of saffron
Pinch of sugar
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced (1 teaspoon)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped, plus more for serving
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 ounces feta, drained and sliced
Crusty bread, for serving

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.

Time 40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups multi-colored cherry tomatoes
1 cup roasted red peppers, drained and diced
1/2 cup halved kalamata olives
3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
One 8-ounce block feta
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Sliced sourdough bread or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the tomatoes, roasted red peppers, olives and garlic in a 7-by-11-inch baking dish. Drizzle with the oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir to coat. Nestle the block of feta in the center of the vegetables. Bake until the feta is soft, and the tomatoes burst and release their juices, about 25 minutes.
  • Use a fork to slightly break up the feta, then stir in the basil, chives and parsley. Serve with sliced sourdough bread or crackers.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will make the cooking process much smoother and faster.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh herbs, vegetables, and seafood will give your dish the best flavor. If you can, try to buy organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
  • Season the Dish Well: Don't be afraid to season your dish with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to bring out the flavors of the ingredients.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The shrimp will be at its best when it is hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

This herby shrimp and feta bake is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp is cooked in a flavorful sauce made with garlic, herbs, and tomatoes, and then baked with feta cheese. The result is a dish that is both satisfying and nutritious. Serve it with a side of rice or your favorite pasta for a complete meal.
