Ingredients
-
1 Tablespoon olive oil
-
1 Tablespoon Moxie Garlic and Chive Seasoning
-
1 can (28 oz) diced tomatoes
-
1 Tablespoon Moxie Mediterranean Seasoning
-
2 pounds large shrimp, peeled & deveined (if swapping for chicken, use an equal amount, cut into 1â chunks and see directions below)
-
4 ounces of feta cheese, crumbled*
-
Salt and pepper to taste, or a sprinkle of Moxie Flavor Bomb
-
Fresh parsley, shredded, for garnish if desired
Directions
Turn the broiler on high and have the rack set 6â below the heat.
In a large, oven safe skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the Garlic & Chive seasoning and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the tomatoes & the juice from the can. Season with a pinch of Flavor Bomb Anything or salt & pepper.
Stir in the Mediterranean seasoning and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and let tomato mixture cook for 8-10 minutes, uncovered, until the sauce is slightly thickened.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until shrimp are pink, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and sprinkle with Feta cheese.
Place the skillet under the broiler for just 2-3 minutes until the feta melts and is golden brown in a few spots. If you donât have a broiler, you may put a lid on the skillet while itâs on the stove and let the cheese melt.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot with crusty bread, pasta, or alternative noodles like zucchini. Enjoy!
Recipe Note
Chef's Tips:
1) If substituting chicken, cut 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast into thin strips and follow the same directions, adding 10 minutes time to the cooking time to cook the chicken. Count calories accordingly.
2) * It is best to use a block of feta cheese and crumble it yourself rather than using pre-crumbled cheese. The flavor from the brine adds incredible depth, warmth and character to this dish.
