Roasted Tomatoes with Shrimp and Feta

Hey there, Reader-Friends! If you are looking for an simple and quick dinner recipe, you have knocked at the right blogstep! Plus this snappy dish is Italian; could it get any better?

Oh, another plus: it doesn’t call for many ingredients, therefore it is a decently affordable meal to put together.

You will need:

• 5 large tomatoes, cut into eighths
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons minced garlic
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cup Feta, crumbled
• crusty bread, for serving

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450° F. Place the tomatoes in a large baking dish and spoon the olive oil and garlic over them.
2. Sprinkle with ¾ teaspoon each salt and pepper and toss. Roast on top rack of oven for 20 minutes.
3. Remove baking dish from oven and stir in the shrimp, parsley, and lemon juice. Sprinkle with the Feta.
4. Return the dish to oven until the shrimp are cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve warm with the bread. (and beer)

You could:

• Add basil or other favorite Italian seasons
• Add parmesan or other favorite Italian cheeses
• Serve over angel hair pasta (we didn’t do this, but it definitely has the consistency that is perfect for that kind of pasta noodle)
• I might throw in some artichokes next time

This was a perfect fix for an exhausted girl like me on a Friday night. It’s  not proven, but this dish may possibly contain stimuli for good conversation. That, of course, is a joke but I really did enjoyed the table conversation last night. You can find the original recipe and other fabulous, yet simple meals at realsimple.com.

P.s. Note this is the first blog post that includes photos from my new Rebel!!! Commence girly squeal! I have no idea what I’m doing with that thing, but I am so, so happy to finally have it!
