We could eat shrimp weekly and I love how versatile it is. A while back I make Ina Garten’s Roasted Shrimp and Feta and decided to redo the recipe as it was intended. I was a little worried about the Fennell last time I made this Barfoot Contessa Roasted Shrimp Recipe.
Roasted Shrimp and Feta Recipe
If you have never used fennel and can not find it at your grocery store, as the produce department. It also might be listed under anise.
HOW TO CUT A FENNEL BULB
If you don’t know how to cut Fennel, be sure and slice it in half and take out the middle core of the fennel bulb.
This is a great dish that is nice enough for guests and it can all be prepared up to the baking time earlier in the day. My favorite kind of entertaining dish.
WHAT TYPE OF SHRIMP IS BEST ROASTED
When buying your shrimp just be on the lookout for sustainable and ideally the US caught shrimp It will probably taste better too!
Splurge on your feta too. If you can only find the pre crumbled feta is not as good as the block.
Take a little extra time to display your shrimp in the pan, it will pay off once it is baked.
Bread crumbs are easy to make as well or you can cheat and use storebought ones.
CAN I MAKE Roasted Shrimp and Feta Recipe AHEAD OF TIME
Yes, make the sauce and allow it to cool before adding the shrimp. Cover it with the remaining ingredients, cover, and refridgerate until you are ready to bake.
My husband made me this dish for my last birthday, I just sat back and was moral support.
This is the perfect dish for entertaining guests or for a nice weeknight dinner. I love one dish meals that the whole family will enjoy.
