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.

      A dinner party? Really? I don’t know about these ingredients, shrimp and feta? Sounds kinda weird together. 🤔

    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.

      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! 😅

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

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

      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!

    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:

      Baked shrimp is actually really good! I was skeptical at first too, but it cooks so well in the oven. You should definitely try 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:

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

  26. User avatar roxanne.medhurst says:

    Thought this would be way too salty with feta, but it actually balanced out well. Surprising!

      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.

    Why do you people put tomatoes on shrimp? It don’t make no sense! Shrimp needs to be grilled, not baked with sauce.

    1. User avatar bernardina.wiegand34 says:

      I think it adds flavor! The tomatoes and feta really complement the shrimp. You should try it again!

      Nah, that’s not how shrimp supposed to be cooked. Grilling is way better, trust me!

    Is it really smart to bake shrimp? I worry about it getting rubbery. Anyone else concerned?

    It was okay, but too much feta for my taste. Next time I’ll use less.

      Wow, that’s awesome! It’s great to see that it still turned out amazing without the feta. I’ll have to try it too!

    This was okay. Shrimp was kinda rubbery, maybe I cooked it too long? Not sure if I’d try it again.

    1. 5 stars
      I totally get that! You might want to check a local fish market or see if your grocery store has frozen shrimp. They can be just as good when cooked.
