Nonstick Skillet
Spatula or Wooden Spoon
French knife
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 1/4 lb Shrimp peeled and deveined
- 4 Garlic Cloves minced
- 4 tsp Fennel Seeds finely ground
- 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
- 1/3 cup Dry White Wine
- 1 1/2 lb Cherry Tomatoes chopped, plus 1/4 cup finely diced
- 1/3 cup Kalamata Olives
- 2 tbsp Fresh Oregano chopped, plus 2 teaspoons
- Kosher Salt
- Black Pepper
- 4 oz Feta Cheese crumbled
- 1/4 cup Cream Cheese Stuffed Peppadew Peppers sliced
In a nonstick skillet, over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add half the shrimp in an even layer and cook until deep golden brown on the bottoms, approximately 2 minutes. Stir and cook until pink and opaque on all sides, another 30 seconds. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with 1 tablespoon of oil and shrimp. Set aside.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon to the pan and heat. Add the garlic, fennel and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until the liquid has evaporated, 45 seconds. Add the chopped tomatoes, olives and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes have broken down into a sauce, around 7 or 8 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons of oregano then season with salt and pepper to taste. Return the shrimp to the skillet, along with any accumulated juices. Cover and let stand until the shrimp are heated through, no more than 1 minute.
Transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle with feta, finely diced tomatoes, sliced Peppadews and remaining 2 teaspoons of oregano.
