Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons good olive oil, divided
  • 1 1/2 cups medium-diced fennel
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Pernod
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/4 pounds (16 to 20 per pound) peeled shrimp with tails on
  • 5 ounces good feta cheese, coarsely crumbled
  • 1 cup fresh bread crumbs (see note)
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  • 2 lemons

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 10-or 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat. Add the fennel and saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until the fennel is tender. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the tomatoes with the liquid, tomato paste, oregano, Pernod, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes.

Arrange the shrimp, tails up, in one layer over the tomato-mixture in the skillet. Scatter the feta evenly over the shrimp. In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, and lemon zest with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle over the shrimp.

Bake for 15 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked and the bread crumbs are golden brown. Squeeze the juice of 1 lemon over the shrimp. Serve hot with the remaining lemon cut into wedges.

    I had to make this recipe 3 times before I figured out what I wanted to modify. First, since I do not care for a strong tomato flavor, I dropped the tomato paste completely. Second, I added 1/2 cup shrimp stock (made from the shrimp shells along with 1/2 teaspoon of seafood bouillon. Third, I added 1 tablespoon of chopped capers. Kept everything else the same. The result was a flavorful dish with a fabulous broth which was not so tomatoey.

    This is a great dish to serve to guests since it can be prepared a day in advance. Reserve the cheese and breadcrumbs, adding to the dish just before baking in the oven and serving. At first I wondered what to serve as a side dish. The very next day, Ina showed how to prepare her Chive Risotto Cakes. Perfect, since they, also, can be prepared the day ahead -- then shaped and pan fried just before serving. Both are delicious. Please, do not skip the fennel or pernod when making the sauce for the shrimp -- otherwise it will taste like shrimp in spaghetti sauce.
