Shrimp with Tomatoes


With all the squirrels stealing tomatoes out of my garden I'm amazed there are any left for me to eat. Fortunately there are plenty and they made for a quick and tasty dinner. I just wish I'd made a little more.

Adapted from The Food You Crave

5-6 small tomatoes, I used romas
olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
pinch of salt, plus more to taste
freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp chopped parsley
12 medium shrimp, peeled and de-veined
cooked rice, to serve

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Peel tomatoes (dip in boiling water for 30 seconds, cool slightly, then slip off the skins), and dice.

Heat about 1 tbsp oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and saute for a couple minutes. Stir in tomatoes, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in salt, pepper, and parsley. Remove from heat and add the shrimp. Bake for about 10 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through. Serve over rice.

Serves 2.

Edit - The baking step is probably unnecessary here. The original recipe included topping the shrimp and tomatoes with feta, then baking until the cheese melted. Since I didn't use the cheese I probably could have just finished it on the stove top over low heat.
