This delicious Greek-spiced baked shrimp with feta is a delightful and flavorful dish that's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The combination of shrimp, tangy feta cheese, and fresh parsley captures the essence of Mediterranean cuisine, while spices like cinnamon and red pepper add a unique and tantalizing depth to the dish. Follow this straightforward recipe to create a memorable meal that is sure to impress your family and friends.
- Ensure the shrimp are fully thawed (if using frozen) and deveined. Pat them dry with a paper towel to help them absorb the flavors better.
- Use slightly stale white bread to make homemade breadcrumbs by pulsing in a food processor. This will give a better texture compared to store-bought crumbs.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of red pepper. For a stronger cinnamon flavor, you can slightly increase the quantity, but be cautious as it can easily overpower the dish.
- Sauté the garlic and onion until they are soft and fragrant before adding the canned tomatoes and spices to build a rich, flavorful base for the shrimp.
- Crumble the feta cheese evenly over the top of the shrimp for even distribution. The feta adds a lovely tangy and creamy element to the dish.
- Add the parsley just before serving to maintain its fresh, herbaceous flavor. If fresh parsley is not available, you can substitute with dried parsley, but use it sparingly as it has a more concentrated flavor.
This Greek-spiced baked shrimp with feta is a tasty and vibrant dish that brings the flavors of the Mediterranean right to your table. The combination of spices, creamy feta, and fresh parsley perfectly complements the succulent shrimp, making it a dish that's both satisfying and full of character. Enjoy it with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal that is sure to become a favorite in your household.
