Shrimp with Tomato, Basil & Feta






















This dish is hearty yet light. It's perfect as an appetizer or toss with pasta and make a meal out of it. By far, this is one of my favorite dishes of the month. I can easily see myself making several variations of this dish because it's that delicious.

Ingredients:
- 1 pound medium shrimp, de-vained, tails on
- 3 Roma tomatoes, seeds removed and diced
- 6 garlic cloves, smashed and chopped
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
- 12 fresh basil leaves, chopped
- olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- salt
- pepper

To Make:
In a medium pan, drizzle olive oil and add the garlic. Saute the garlic on medium heat for 2 minutes. Add in the shrimp and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Add in the feta cheese. Mix together and add in the crushed red pepper. Take a pinch of the chopped basil and add into the pan. Cook 3-4 minutes until the shrimp is cooked. Top with fresh basil and serve immediately.
