Baked Greek Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

April 17, 2024

If you’re craving something light, fresh, and packed with flavor, this baked Greek shrimp with tomatoes and feta is your answer. It’s a one-pan dish that combines the best of the Mediterranean, briny feta, juicy shrimp, sweet tomatoes, and fragrant herbs, all baked together to perfection.

The foundation of the dish is a quick, garlicky tomato sauce made with olive oil, onions, and crushed or cherry tomatoes simmered until thickened. Oregano and a pinch of red pepper flakes give it that classic Greek-style seasoning with just a hint of heat.

Once the sauce is ready, shrimp are nestled into the pan and crumbled feta is generously sprinkled on top. Everything goes into the oven for a short bake, just long enough for the shrimp to cook through and the feta to get warm and slightly golden. The result? A bubbling, savory dish that feels both rustic and elegant.

One of the best things about this recipe is its simplicity. It takes about 10 minutes of prep and 15–20 minutes of bake time, making it perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or an easy entertaining option. And because it’s baked, there’s no need to hover over the stove, just pop it in the oven and let it do the work.

Serve it straight from the pan with warm crusty bread or over orzo, rice, or couscous to soak up the rich tomato juices. A side of lemony greens or a simple cucumber salad makes the perfect pairing.

This baked Greek shrimp dish is not only delicious but also naturally low in carbs and high in protein, making it a smart option if you’re trying to eat a bit lighter without sacrificing flavor. Whether you’re cooking for guests or treating yourself to a solo Mediterranean feast, this is one of those dishes that tastes as good as it looks and it looks stunning.

    This was easy but I think I did something wrong—my shrimp came out a bit rubbery. Maybe they were overcooked or not in a single layer like suggested.

    1. 2 stars
      I don’t know if single layer was the issue… I’ve had shrimp get rubbery even when it’s spread out, like maybe the oven runs hot. Next time try patting them dry first? and don’t drain the tomatoes too much? Mine once were kinda rubbery but it was the tomatoes making it steam? idk 😅

    2. User avatar sherell.treutel says:

      4 stars
      Aw man, rubbery shrimp usually means they went a couple minutes too long. At 400°F I’d start checking around the 18-minute mark and pull them as soon as they’re just pink—overcooked shrimp get tough fast. Also, single layer matters, so if they were crowded it can cook unevenly.

  2. User avatar Flame Atronach says:

    This was absolutely delicious! The flavors were on point, and the shrimp turned out perfectly. Definitely making this again!

    Wow, this was super easy and actually tasted really “Greek” to me. The feta + tomatoes combo is so good—will definitely make again.

    1. 4 stars
      Greek? I mean, it tastes good, but isn’t feta kinda salty? I added the feta too early once and it got all weird. Still, 400°F for 25 min worked for me. Would you suggest draining the tomatoes more?

    2. User avatar yanira.flatley says:

      5 stars
      Yes!! I agree—the feta + tomatoes combo makes it feel way more Greek than a lot of “Mediterranean” recipes. I used fresh oregano and it was even better. Making again this week!

  4. 5 stars
    Easiest shrimp recipe ever! Perfect for busy nights. I made it in less than half an hour.

      Looks good but is shrimp really that easy? I’ve had some disaster recipes before.

    Yum! I added some olives and it really kicked it up a notch. Will make again!

  6. User avatar katia.purdy says:

    I don’t know, 1 pound shrimp for that many spices feels like a lot? Mine tasted kind of salty even though I drained the tomatoes. Maybe my feta was extra salty.

    Simple recipe, but so good! Made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it. Thanks for sharing!

    Feta is cheese?! I thought it was a type of fish. Well, I still liked it!

    This is healthy, right? But my kids just wouldn’t eat it. Need more kid-friendly recipes.

    I tried it but didn’t really like the feta. Is there a substitute? It tasted a bit off for me.

    1. User avatar Falmer Shadowmaster says:

      You could try using ricotta or goat cheese instead! They have a different flavor but might work just as well. Hope this helps!

    2. User avatar vergie.huel40 says:

      Feta is key! But if you really can’t do it, maybe try mozzarella? It won’t be the same, but it’s better than nothing! 😅

    5 stars!! My whole family ate it without complaining (rare lol). I served it over rice and it soaked up all the tomato juices. Definitely going into our rotation.

  15. User avatar Draugr Wight says:

    Greek vibes, yes. Super good with rice or crusty bread. Simple weeknight meal. 10/10 would reccomend.

  16. User avatar tennille.green89 says:

    Made this tonight and it was super flavorful. The feta + tomatoes combo is honestly magic, and the garlic smell in the oven is unreal. I added a squeeze of lemon at the end—10/10 would do again.

  17. 4 stars
    Pretty good! I was worried 20-25 mins might overcook the shrimp, but it came out juicy. I used fresh oregano because I had it, and I think it tasted even brighter.

  18. 3 stars
    Pretty good, but the instructions are a little vague—like do you drain the tomatoes or just dump them? I drained them and it worked, so maybe write that clearer.

  19. 4 stars
    I’m not a fan of shrimp, but my partner loved it. He said the flavors were great.

  20. 4 stars
    Could be spicy? I only used half the red pepper flakes and it was still flavorful. If you like heat, I guess full amount would be good.

    I didn’t have crushed red pepper flakes so I used hot sauce, still great!

  27. 4 stars
    I followed it pretty closely but baked mine closer to 25 minutes and the shrimp stayed tender. Tomatoes got nice and juicy, even better the next day.

    Why do people even like shrimp? It’s just fish bugs. 🦐🤢

  29. 4 stars
    The crushed red pepper flakes made it spicy enough for me, but not too hot. I served it with rice and it was perfect to soak up the sauce.

    1. User avatar Spider Soldier says:

      3 stars
      Hmm I tried this and it was pretty good, but I think I used too much garlic? Also mine seemed more watery than expected even after baking—maybe I didn’t drain the diced tomatoes enough. Still tasty though with rice.

    2. 5 stars
      Yes! I love when the red pepper flakes give flavor without wrecking the meal. Serving with rice is such a smart move—soaks up all that tomato-y goodness perfectly.

  30. 3 stars
    Not sure what I did wrong, but mine didn’t look like the picture. Tasted fine but not pretty 🙁

    1. 4 stars
      Don’t worry! Sometimes it just doesn’t turn out like the picture, but as long as it tasted good, that’s what matters! Keep trying!

  35. User avatar marcellus.okeefe93 says:

    3 stars
    I followed it mostly, but my diced tomatoes were not drained enough, so the baking sheet got kinda watery. Still tasted great though—next time I’ll drain harder and maybe broil for the last 2 minutes.

  36. 2 stars
    Um, how can shrimp be baked? Isn’t it supposed to be boiled? I’m so confused by this whole thing.

    1. 4 stars
      I thought shrimp was always boiled too! But really, you can bake them, grill them, fry them… It’s all good. Just give it a shot!

    2. User avatar lenard.konopelski says:

    400°F is a lot—mine started bubbling like crazy and I got nervous. I pulled it at 18 minutes and it was perfect. Also, don’t skip the parsley; it really finishes it.

    Couldn’t taste the feta at all. It just got lost in there. Disappointing!

    1. User avatar marsha.pouros11 says:

      3 stars
      Yeah, I thought feta was supposed to be strong? That sounds odd. I’d just add it raw on top after baking.

    2. User avatar bernardine.wiza says:

      I totally get that! Sometimes the feta gets overshadowed by the other flavors. Maybe try adding more next time?

      Looks good, but I wonder if the shrimp always cooks right at 20-25 minutes? I mean, what if they’re still a bit raw? I prefer checking them earlier.

  91. User avatar kerry.nicolas46 says:

    Not bad at all, but I think 1 pound shrimp is a lot of surface area for one can of tomatoes. Next time I’ll use a bit more tomato or mash it more evenly.

    1. User avatar joe_banana says:

      4 stars
      I get what you mean—1 lb shrimp is a lot, and the tomatoes can end up feeling a little thin. Draining and then not spreading evenly definitely makes it worse. Next time I’d either use the juice more (don’t drain as hard) or add an extra spoonful or two of tomatoes.

  92. 2 stars
    Not sure about the thyme/basil combo with shrimp. It was edible but kinda bland to me. Maybe my feta was salty already, so the balance felt off.

    1. User avatar alec.lemke says:

      4 stars
      Yeah I get what you mean. The basil/thyme is subtle with shrimp, and feta can totally throw off the salt balance depending on brand. Next time I’d either use a little less feta or add a squeeze of lemon + a pinch of sugar to round out the tomatoes. Also maybe a touch more oregano/red pepper for punch.

    I used fresh oregano instead of dried and it felt a bit stronger—still tasty. Next time I’ll go back to the exact measurements.

    1. 2 stars
      Hmm I think you should use dried oregano only. Fresh oregano tastes like soap to me sometimes, not gonna lie. Still glad it worked for you though—shrimp doesn’t need much seasoning.

    2. User avatar whitney.prohaska says:

      5 stars
      Fresh oregano is definitely stronger than dried—nice save though! I do the same thing sometimes, but I usually cut the amount a bit so it doesn’t overpower the feta.

  96. User avatar Flame Atronach says:

    2 stars
    Eh. Shrimp got a little rubbery for me even though I watched the time. I think I crowded the pan. Next time I’ll do two sheets or use a bigger one.

    1. User avatar Meriadoc Brandybuck says:

      5 stars
      Totally hear you—shrimp gets rubbery fast if they’re packed too tight. Your instinct to use two sheets (or a bigger one) should fix it. Also, I usually do single layer *and* skip any extra sauce pooling on the tray.
