Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 15 mins
Yield: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 8 ounces raw shrimp, peeled, deveined (Note 1)
  • 15-ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 10 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne
  • chopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Prepare: Thoroughly pat shrimp dry using paper towels. Stir shrimp, melted butter, salt, and pepper in bowl until shrimp are well-coated with butter; set aside. Verify all other ingredients are measured, prepared, and ready to go.
  • Sear Shrimp: Heat skillet over medium-high heat for a few minutes until hot. Use tongs to add shrimp to hot skillet in single layer, working in batches if skillet cannot fit all at once. Cook shrimp for a minute or until they start to become pink around edges, then flip and cook until opaque, less than a minute. Transfer shrimp to plate as they finish cooking.
  • Add Aromatics: Reduce heat to medium-low. Add minced garlic to now-empty skillet, cooking and stirring until fragrant and browning, less than a minute. Add diced tomatoes (including liquid in can) and cayenne to skillet. Stir to mix well. Simmer for about 5 minutes to thicken sauce a bit, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve: Remove skillet from heat. Add shrimp back to skillet and stir with sauce. Top with feta cheese and chopped parsley. Serve (Note 2).

NOTES & TIPS

(1) Shrimp. Use raw shrimp that have been peeled and deveined. To use frozen shrimp, fully thaw them in the refrigerator, then drain and pat dry with paper towels (to avoid splattering during the searing step).
(2) Serving. Enjoy hot or cold, over a bed of spiralized zucchini or riced cauliflower, or with other low carb sides like mashed turnips, creamed spinach, or roasted mushrooms.

Mmmmm just made this! But I used fresh cherry tomatoes and added a drizzle of olive oil with the butter. Absolutely bursting with flavours! And it looks so pretty too (almost too pretty to eat!)
