Shrimp Stew with Feta

The perfect blend of low-fat protein, veggies and complex carbs, this one-pot meal is great over brown rice and the feta gives it a surprising twist that will wake up your weekly meal routine.

Ingredients:

1 ½ pounds raw peeled shrimp
6 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup onions sliced lengthwise
3 clove garlic
1 red bell pepper chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 ½ cups canned tomatoes, peeled chopped and drained (reserve the liquid)
4 oz feta cheese chopped into ¼ cubes
3 Tbsp. coarsely chopped fresh parsley
Brown rice

Directions:

Heat olive oil in large heavy skillet and when hot add onions to brown. Add garlic. Add Bell pepper and mix all until soft.

Add shrimp and sprinkle with oregano. Slat and pepper to preference. Cook shrimp until they begin to curl and take care not to over cook. Add chopped tomatoes and reduce heat. Add tomato liquid. Create a stew-like consistency by bringing mixture to a boil to thicken it slightly. Cook for about five minutes, then add feta and sprinkle fresh parsley. Do not stir needlessly at this point – you want the feta to retain its shape.

Serve over brown rice.
