Greek Shrimp with Feta and Tomatoes is an easy recipe packed with Mediterranean flavor. Can be served either as an appetizer or over pasta or rice as a main meal.
Quick and Easy Recipe
It’s simple to make but there’s so much flavor. The recipe can be made start to finish in about 20 minutes. Gotta love that!
Rich Tomato Flavor
A can of diced tomatoes plus some tomato paste gives this easy shrimp dish lots of tomato flavor. Be sure to use a good quality diced tomato. Tuttorosso are my favorite.
Other Flavors
In addition to tomato flavor, these delicious shrimp are also flavored with oregano, garlic, onion, a few kalamata olives, and lots of feta cheese.
How To Pick Shrimp
You can use either fresh shrimp or frozen shrimp for this recipe. If you don’t live near the coast, I recommend buying frozen shrimp and thawing them. Most “fresh” shrimp sold in stores is frozen shrimp that has already been thawed and who knows how long it has been sitting on ice.
Variations and Additions
- For additonal flavor, you can add more fresh herbs. Oregano, basil, thyme, or rosemary would be delicious.
- Instead of using feta cheese, you can use Bocconcini (small mozzarella balls).
How To Serve
Greek Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta can either be served as an appetizer with pita chips or some crusty bread or as a main dish. To serve as a main dish, you can either serve it with rice or over pasta. A glass of white wine goes really well with it.

I’ve made this a few times and love it! Rave reviews each time I serve it. Wouldn’t change a thing.
I would like to make this for a pot luck where it will be difficult to re-heat snd keep warm. How do you think this dish would taste if served chilled from refrigerator or at room temperature?
Very delicious shrimp and very quick to make. I added 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper.
