1 cup bread crumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano ¼ cup Grated parmesan cheese
2 cups plum tomatoes (diced)
2 tablespoons sliced garlic

Method: Prepare the bread crumbs: Combine cheese, bread crumbs and oregano in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Crust the shrimp: Press 1 tablespoon bread crumb mixture into each shrimp on the side which has been cut to remove the vein. You should have enough bread crumb mixture to crust 16 shrimp. Distribute it evenly. Shrimp may be prepared and refrigerated ahead of time. Prepare the dish: Pre-heat oven and a large heavy skillet to 500 F. Add olive oil to hot skillet and allow oil to heat. Arrange shrimp in skillet and cook about half way (3-4 minutes). Add wine and butter to pan along with diced tomato and sliced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Return pan to the oven and cook until shrimp are done (4-5 minutes more). During the cooking time, the wine, butter and juices from the tomato will reduce and come together like a sauce. Serve 4 shrimp on each of 4 plates with the tomato relish in the middle for appetizer portions or serve on a large platter for family style.
