Shrimp, feta cheese, tomato and garlic blend together giving this 10-minute dish the tangy flavors of Greece.
Most of the ingredients for this meal can be kept on hand. It's perfect for evenings when you want to make a fresh meal and you haven't had time to go to the market. I like to keep peeled and deveined shrimp in the freezer. They defrost quickly placed in a bowl with running water in the sink. Frozen chopped onion is another convenient ingredient I keep in the freezer. Tomatoes, garlic and celery are staples in my house. Any type of cheese you have on hand can be substituted for the feta cheese.
We usually think of celery as a vegetable to be eaten raw. It has a mild, nutty flavor when cooked.
Helpful Hints:
_ Crumbled feta cheese can be found in the dairy section of the supermarket.
Countdown:
