Preparation

Step 1

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and then add onions, peppers, tomatoes,olives and dried oregano. Sauté until onions are soft and the tomatoes are starting to break down, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the marinara sauce and simmer 5 to 10 minutes or until you end up with a nice thick sauce.

Stir in the crumbled feta. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and/or additional crushed red pepper. Arrange shrimp on top. Sprinkle the remaining feta cheese on top and place under the broiler for about 5 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through.
(I broil the shrimp a little while before I add the extra feta or it might burn.)

Can be served over angel hair pasta. I've also served it with asparagus, too.
