Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup diced red onion
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup ouzo
  • 1 can 14.5 oz diced tomatoes
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp dried red pepper flakes
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 lb raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley plus more for garnish
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • In a large oven-proof skillet set over medium high heat, saute the onions in olive oil for 5 minutes or until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute longer or until fragrant. Pour in the ouzo, and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until reduced by half.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 7-10 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat, then stir in the shrimp and parsley, and crumble the feta overtop.
  • Transfer the pan to the preheated oven, and bake until the shrimp are cooked through and the mixture is bubbly, about 12-15 minutes.
  • Note: If you don’t have ouzo, use sambuca, Pernod, or any other anise-flavoured liqueur instead. Don’t have any anise-flavoured liqueur kicking around, or just really hate that licoricey taste? White wine will do nicely in a pinch, too.
