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.
