This dish has a great depth of flavor including tanginess from the lemon juice and wine reduction, sweet from the tomatoes and peas, and salty from the feta. You can enjoy it on its own as light meal, with a side vegetable, or as an appetizer on sliced crusty Italian bread. Either way, it’s really good and so easy to make!

Serving Suggestions
This dish can be enjoyed on its own as a light meal or as an appetizer with toasted baguette slices. I recommend adding some vegetables, a salad, or rice if you’ll be serving this as a main dish. A few ideas are cilantro lime rice, cauliflower rice to keep it lower carb, or roasted broccoli or roasted cauliflower.
Storing Leftovers
Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. I don’t recommend freezing this dish. Reheat gently in the microwave.

This shrimp was SO GOOD. I did serve it with bread and we mopped up the juices left in the casserole dish.
I didn’t know what to expect from this, but it was DELISH!
I’m staying with my Dad for the near future and trying some of your recipes (like this) which contain things that my wife doesn’t like.
This was so delicious. I love meals like this because they’re both healthy and satisfying.
