Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare all ingredients.
- Heat 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in a skillet. Sauté shrimp until they just turn pink. Add red pepper flakes. (You will likely need to split this shrimp into two batches given the quantity.) Transfer sauteed shrimp to a baking dish.
- Heat 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil in the same skillet. Sauté chopped onions until cooked down, 3-4 minutes, then add chopped garlic and continue to sauté for another minute. Add the dry white wine, and cook for 2 minutes over high heat.
- Stir in the chopped tomatoes, fresh chopped parsley, Greek oregano, salt and fresh ground pepper to taste. Simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- Pour the tomato mixture evenly over the shrimp in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese evenly over the tomato sauce.
- Transfer the baking dish to a 400° oven and bake for 15 minutes or until feta cheese has melted and slightly browned on top. Serve immediately over Penne pasta and some crusty bread.
