Recipe: Shrimp with Feta

Just got this one in my in box (it's from Cooking Light)... Looks so good I wanted to share it!


Ingredients (makes 4 servings, 1 cup each)

* 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
* 1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
* Cooking spray
* 1 teaspoon olive oil
* 1/2 cup prechopped onion
* 1 garlic clove, minced
* 2 tablespoons bottled clam juice
* 1 tablespoon white wine
* 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
* 1/2 cup (2 ounces) crumbled feta cheese
* 2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley


1. Preheat oven to 450°.

2. Combine lemon juice and shrimp in a large bowl; toss well. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add oil to pan, swirling to coat. Add onion to pan; sauté 1 minute. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add clam juice, wine, oregano, pepper, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in shrimp mixture. Place mixture in an 11 x 7–inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle cheese evenly over mixture. Bake at 450° for 12 minutes or until shrimp are done and cheese melts. Sprinkle with parsley; serve immediately.
* Orzo with fresh herbs: Cook 1 cup orzo pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain; toss orzo with 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
