Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup dry white wine, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until tomatoes soften and sauce thickens.
  4. Step 4: Return shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with 1 cup crumbled feta cheese and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until cheese softens and everything is heated through.
  5. Step 5: Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over.
