Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

Shrimp cooked in a spicy tomato sauce flavored with oregano and topped with feta cheese is quick, yet impressive enough for a company meal. Serve the shrimp and sauce over cooked orzo pasta or rice.

Feta is Greece’s most famous cheese, but there are many varieties made throughout the world. Traditionally, feta is made from sheep’s milk, though today a blend of sheep’s and goat’s or even cow’s milk may be used. Tangy and semi-firm, feta tastes great in a salad or tossed with cooked spinach.
