Feta Shrimp with Roasted Tomatoes

In this recipe I deviate from the usual formula where the spinach would be the last ingredient added. I do this because sometimes spinach that touches the lid becomes browned, and although this doesn’t bother me, some may find it unappetizing. This method leaves the spinach greener. I get the best results when using frozen raw shrimp, though thawed raw shrimp will work well, too.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 2

Ingredients

Olive oil spray
One 14-ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes
1/2 cup couscous
2 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach, or one 10-ounce package frozen
1/2 to 3/4 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch slices

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F.

    Step 2

    Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.

    Step 3

    Drain the tomatoes into a measuring cup. Add water if necessary to get 1/2 cup of liquid. Reserve the tomatoes.

    Step 4

    Pour the couscous into the pot and add the tomato liquid. Stir to coat each grain and make an even layer.

    Step 5

    Pack the spinach into the pot. (If using frozen spinach, break apart the block.)

    Step 6

    In a medium bowl, stir together the tomatoes, shrimp, parsley, lemon juice, and feta, and add to the pot.

    Step 7

    Arrange the zucchini slices on top.

    Step 8

    Cover and bake for about 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
