- olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups diced fennel (1 bulb)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 14 1/2 ounces diced tomatoes, drained (1 can)
- 2 teaspoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon Pernod
- kosher salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 1/4 lbs shrimp, peeled and deveined with the tails left on
- 3 ounces feta cheese, coarsely crumbled (preferably Greek or French)
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumb
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 2 lemons
Method
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in 10- or 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat.
- Add the fennel and garlic and saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until tender.
- Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits clinging to the bottom of the skillet, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, Pernod, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to the skillet.
- Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Arrange the shrimp artfully in one layer over the tomato mixture in the skillet.
- Scatter feta evenly over the shrimp. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, and lemon zest with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle evenly over the shrimp.
- Bake the shrimp for about 15 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through and the bread crumbs are golden brown.
- Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the shrimp.
- Serve hot with wedges of lemon.
- *To make 1 cup of fresh bread crumbs, remove the crusts from 3 to 4 slices white bread and place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until the bread is in crumbs.
- Assemble the shrimp right in a 10- to 12-inch stainless-steel saute pan, and then put the pan in the oven for 15 minutes before serving.
