Inspired by my love of Greece, this crowd pleasing Shrimp Santorini is healthy, delicious and comes together in 1 pan in less than 30 minutes. It's perfect for a quick weeknight meal and beautiful enough to serve for a gorgeous Sunday Brunch. If you're not a shrimp lover, you can substitute chicken too! No matter how you prepare it, be sure to serve it with enough crusty bread or pasta / pasta alternative to sop up all the rich & delicious tomato sauce. OPA!

Ingredients
-
4 tsp Stacey Hawkins Luscious Lemon Oil
-
1 T Stacey Hawkins Garlic & Spring Onion Seasoning
-
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
-
1 T Stacey Hawkins Mediterranean Seasoning
-
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled & deveined
-
4 ounces of feta cheese, crumbled*
-
Salt and pepper to taste, or for even better flavor, a sprinkle of Dash of Desperation
-
Fresh parsley, shredded, for garnish if desired
Directions
Turn the broiler on high and have the rack set 6” below the heat.
In a large, oven safe skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the Garlic & Spring Onion seasoning and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomatoes & the juice from the can. Season with a pinch of Dash or salt & pepper.
Stir in the Mediterranean seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and let tomato mixture cook for 8-10 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until shrimp are pink, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and sprinkle with Feta cheese.
Place the skillet under the broiler for just 2-3 minutes until the feta melts and is golden brown in a few spots. If you don’t have a broiler, you may put a lid on the skillet while it’s on the stove and let the cheese melt.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with crusty bread, pasta, or alternative noodles like zucchini. Enjoy!

Chef's Tips:
1) If substituting chicken, cut 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast into thin strips and follow the same directions, adding 10 minutes time to the cooking time to cook the chicken. Count calories accordingly.
2) * It is best to use a block of feta cheese and crumble it yourself rather than using pre-crumbled cheese. The flavor from the brine adds incredible depth, warmth and character to this dish.
