Plump cherry tomatoes, sautéed just until their skin cracks, are the stars of this Greek-accented dish. The large cherry ones, also called cocktail tomatoes, that come in a net bag are best. Their flavor is worth the premium you pay.

Preparation facts

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil

3/4 lb medium shrimp, shelled

1 clove garlic, minced

1 (12-ounce) bag cherry tomatoes on the vine

1 Tbs chopped fresh oregano, or 1 teaspoon dried

1/4 cup dry white wine, or fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth

3 Tbs chopped flat-leaf parsley

2 Tbs crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese

1/2 tsp salt

freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and stir with a wooden spoon until they just lose their raw color, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the garlic, tomatoes, oregano, and wine or broth. Cook, using a spoon to roll the tomatoes around, until most of the liquid has boiled off, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the parsley and cheese, and cook 1 minute longer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
