Mediterranean Shrimp

from Katie Lee (The Kitchen)

This dish is easy, tasty and healthy. 
Serves four and takes less than an hour from start to table.

Ingredients
In the serving dish with the feta cheese on top.
Vegetables:
3 tablespoons dry white wine
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
12 ounces jarred artichoke hearts, drained
8 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half
1 pint grape tomatoes
1/3 cup kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons capers, drained and coarsely chopped
1 red onion, cut into chunks
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Shrimp:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 pound cleaned large shrimp
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 baguette, cut in half lengthwise and then crosswise into 4 pieces total
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

For the vegetables: In a large bowl, whisk the white wine, olive oil and garlic. Add the artichokes, haricot vert, tomatoes, olives, capers and onions and toss to coat. Season with about 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet and evenly spread out. Roast until the tomatoes begin to release their juices, 10 to 12 minutes.

For the shrimp: While the vegetables are roasting, use the same bowl and mix together the olive oil, oregano, red pepper, garlic and lemon zest and juice. Add the shrimp and toss to coat. Season with about 1/4 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper.

Drizzle the baguette pieces with olive oil.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and add the shrimp. Stir and evenly spread out the shrimp and vegetables. Add the pieces of baguette around the perimeter. Roast until the shrimp is pink and opaque, 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer to a serving bowl, sprinkle with the crumbled feta and serve with the bread.


Yes, it looks this good straight out of the oven. OMG
