Easy One-Pan Greek Shrimp Recipe With Tomatoes and Feta
I’m always looking for quick and easy recipes that are low carb that I can make for dinner for my family. Luckily everyone loves shrimp in my household and shrimp is so easy to prepare. I love to get the already peeled, deveined and tail removed shrimp for this recipe because it really comes together in a snap for a weeknight meal!
This Easy Greek Shrimp Recipe is similar to my Baked Shrimp Saganaki Recipe – however, the difference is that this is made in a skillet, so there is no need to heat the oven and this one uses fresh lemon juice and also has fresh mint, whereas the Saganaki recipe uses white wine or ouzo so it has a different flavor profile altogether. Both are equally delicious, so give them both a try.
How to Make One-Pan Greek Shrimp Recipe
First, you’ll start by marinating the shrimp in a simple marinade of olive oil, chopped garlic, oregano, dill, salt, and pepper. For extra lemon flavor, you could also add the zest of a lemon to the marinating shrimp if you’d like.
While the shrimp is marinating, heat your skillet and the oil and add the chopped red onions. Saute the onions until they are translucent then add the shrimp and tomatoes. Cook for about 12-15 minutes until the shrimp is pink, but do not overcook the shrimp. Add fresh mint, parsley, and feta cheese and serve. So easy and so delicious!
