Instructions
- 1.Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn it, as burnt garlic can become bitter.
- 2.Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the tomatoes start to soften and release their juices. This creates a fresh, tangy base for the dish. If the tomatoes start sticking, you can add a splash of water to deglaze the pan.
- 3.Gently add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until they start turning pink and opaque, then flip them over. Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side. Avoid overcooking to keep them tender and juicy.
- 4.Once the shrimp are cooked, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it cook for another 1-2 minutes. This allows the feta to soften and meld with the tomato juices, creating a creamy sauce.
- 5.Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit covered for a minute. This ensures all flavors are well combined. If the sauce seems too thick, stir gently and add a bit more olive oil to loosen it. Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
