There’s something kind of special when a dish tastes like it’s been simmering all afternoon but take less than 30 minutes to make. This Greek inspired shrimp with tomatoes and feta recipe is exactly that — easy, colorful, and full of healthy Mediterranean flavor.

The combination of shrimp, tomatoes, and feta is classic for a reason. Inspired by Ellie Krieger’s Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta, this version leans on everyday ingredients but tastes just like a dish that I enjoyed at an authentic Greek restaurant in Albany, NY- Athos, which has recently been voted as one of the top 50 Greek restaurants in America.

Why I love Baked Shrimp with Tomatoes & Feta:

• Ready in about 30 minutes
• Uses simple, healthy ingredients
• Bakes in one skillet for easy cleanup
• Equally perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual dinner party

Pro Tip for making Shrimp with Tomatoes & Feta:

Look for feta packed in brine — it’s creamier, saltier, and melts beautifully into the tomato sauce.
When possible, use fresh shrimp. The frozen shrimp will add excess moisture and often contain unwanted preservatives.
