Shrimp is baked in a tangy lemon and wine reduction, sweet tomatoes and peas, and salty feta. Serve this Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta on its own or with sliced bread!
It’s March! You know what that means, right?
When we’re hot here in California and want to eat cold salad, while the rest of the world is still buried in snow craving cheesy casseroles, of course.
Oh wait. Did you think I meant March Madness and basketball? Well, sure. That too.
I got my toes painted, thanks to sister Jen! And I shopped at Target yesterday for new patio furniture. And beach towels. Ya.
BUT. I also made meatloaf with roasted potatoes. So, I’m not completely blowing off winter comfort food yet.
And I made this easy baked shrimp dish.
It’s tangy from the lemon juice and wine reduction, but sweet from the tomatoes and peas, and salty from the feta. I served it on sliced crunchy Italian bread, which sort of made it feel like an appetizer, but it’s really not. Unless you want it to be. Either way, it’s really good!

Other Notes
I’m so jealous of your warm weather…I might HAVE to move in with you!
As much as I love the snow, I think I’m ready for warm weather. I’m especially ready for beach days and margaritas!
I love dishes like this! Totally making it when I can get decent seafood again!
I am totally not ready to let go of soup season!!
This shrimp looks SO GOOD. I’ll have a loaf of bread please. :)
Amy, I would unfortunately be in “the rest of the world that is still buried in snow craving cheesy casseroles” group and in fact, shoveled snow for like 30 minutes today and then came inside because my hands were frozen. . BUT I’m going to focus on light, cool, delicious foods like this baked shrimp and salads and stuff . . and maybe spring will get here faster. :P
Since I’m staying with Dad for the near future, I’d like to try some of your recipes (like this) which contain things that Cheri doesn’t like.
Oh, you totally should Ray…now’s your chance!
I love meals like this because they’re both healthy and satisfying- the ideal combination!
Agreed! Thanks, Sues!
