Baked Shrimp with Scallions, Tomatoes, and Feta

4.5

(35)

When dinner needs to be on the table fast, you can rely on this colorful and flavorful dish. You have the option of spooning the shrimp onto a bed of rice or orzo, or just using crusty bread to soak up the juice.

SIMPLE TIP

My favorite brands of tomatoes are organic and use naturally derived citric acid in the processing. Get the convenient chopped tomatoes in juice, which come in many different versions — fire-roasted or plain, with jalapeños, with basil and garlic, or with Italian seasonings.
