Skillet Shrimp and Tomatoes with Feta

Skillet shrimp and tomatoes

I happen to love pasta dishes and with shrimp and feta, what’s not to love!  I usually keep most of these ingredients in the pantry and since I can purchase peeled shrimp, this has becomeone of my go to recipes.  When tomatoes aren’t in season, I usually go with either vine ripened minature or grape tomatoes, which I find a little sweeter.  This one-skillet dish features bold flavors of shrimp, cherry tomatoes, feta, and a few other ingredients for simple elegance prepared in mere minutes. Serve with rice or pasta.
