| This dish is served at seaside tavernas all over Greece. The shrimp can be sauteed and dressed with the tomato sauce up to 4 hours in advance. At serving time, sprinkle on the feta cheese and slip under a broiler or into an oven. Serve with plenty of crusty bread for capturing the delicious juices. |

DIRECTIONS
Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F or preheat a broiler or grill.
|
Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and black pepper. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the shrimp and saute, stirring briskly, until pink and beginning to curl, 2-3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to 4 flameproof ramekins or small gratin dishes, distributing them evenly.
|
In the same pan over medium heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the yellow onion or green onions and saute until tender, about 8 minutes. Add the garlic, cayenne (if using), and oregano and saute for 2 minutes longer. Add the tomato sauce or diced tomatoes and simmer until thickened slightly, about 2 minutes longer. Add the sugar if the tomatoes are not sweet and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
|
Pour the sauce over the shrimp, dividing it evenly. Then sprinkle the feta over the tops. Bake or broil until the cheese melts, 5-8 minutes if baking or 3-5 minutes if broiling.
|
Sprinkle the shrimp with the parsley and serve hot.
