Ingredients
- •Olive oil(60g)
Regular (not extra-virgin) olive oil for high-heat cooking. EVOO for dressings.
- •Shrimp(454g)
- •Tomato, Cherry
- •Garlic
- •Oregano, Dried(3g)
- •Thyme, Dried(3g)
- •Garlic powder(3g)
- •½ teaspoon sugar
- •1 teaspoon sea salt
- •Red pepper flakes(1g)
- •Parsley, Fresh(60g)
- •Lemon
- •Cheese, Feta, Crumbled(57g)

Instructions
- 1Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is glistening, add the shrimp and cook, undisturbed, until just pink on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side until, opaque, and cooked through, about 1 more minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a plate.
- 2Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the same skillet and turn the heat up to high. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook, undisturbed, until beginning to blister, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is tender and the tomatoes begin to burst and the sauce thickens (if you want, you can gently smash the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon) about 5 more minutes.
- 3Add the oregano, thyme, garlic powder, sugar, salt and crushed red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- 4Return the shrimp to the skillet with the tomatoes. Stir in the parsley.
- 5Serve shrimp and tomatoes with a squeeze of lemon, sprinkled with the feta, alongside pita or crusty bread.
