Greek Shrimp With Tomato, Feta, and Mint Is a Quick, Tasty Meal

This light and tangy shrimp dish pairs well with Greek flat bread or rice pilaf.

This combination of ingredients creates a multitude of textures and flavors. Diane Rossen Worthington/TNS

The first time that I tasted this dish was at an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles. I was slightly puzzled, since it had a strong oregano flavor with Greek feta cheese, and wondered why it was served in an Italian restaurant. I did some research and realized that it is, in fact, a Greek dish.

There are many interpretations of this dish, some with Greek olives added, others with a heavy sprinkling of dill weed, parsley, and sauteed onion. I have prepared this many times and come up with a wonderful Seriously Simple version that can be served as a first course or a main course. It takes about 45 minutes to put together, so it’s a good weeknight meal as well as a dinner party dish.
