I've been relying on this meal a lot lately...it's easy, doesn't require a lot of preparation work, and it tastes really good. One needs:
1 pkg. frozen shrimp (lately all I've been able to find affordably is peel-on, but peeled would make this a lot easier to eat)
1 pkg. cherry tomatoes
2 or 3 cloves garlic
olive oil
salt, pepper
1 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese, preferably the kind with the herbs already in it
herbs (I've used both oregano and thyme)
pasta or rice
To prepare, halve the cherry tomatoes and mince the 2 or 3 (or more) garlic cloves and add to a roasting pan. Douse the tomatoes and garlic in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast in a 450 degree oven for 15 minutes or so, or until the tomatoes show signs of being cooked or until you're afraid the garlic is going to burn.
Then, take out the roasting pan and add the thawed shrimp, cheese, and any more herbs you wish to add (when I use the feta with herbs I don't add many extra herbs, but if I use plain feta I add maybe a half tablespoon of dried herbs). Put back into the oven until the shrimp are cooked through and pink, and the cheese is a bit browned on top.
Serve over pasta or rice.
