Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup olive oil**
1 medium onion, chopped
1 28-oz can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 tsp dried oregano
Salt
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1 1/2 lb medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 4 oz)
2 Tbsp chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

In a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Scrape onion into large slow cooker. Stir in tomatoes, wine, oregano, salt to taste and crushed red pepper. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Rinse shrimp and pat them dry. Stir shrimp into sauce. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook on high for 10 to 15 minutes, or until shrimp are tender and cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot. Notes from the author Shrimp cooked in a spicy tomato sauce flavored with oregano and topped with feta cheese is quick, yet impressive enough for a company meal. Serve over cooked orzo or rice. Feta is Greece's most famous cheese, but there are many varieties made throughout the world. Traditionally, feta is made from sheep's milk, though today a blend of sheep's and goat's or even cow's milk may be used. Tangy and semi-firm, feta also tastes great in a salad or tossed with cooked spinach. **Notes from WeightWatchers.com When calculating the PointsPlus values for this recipe: We used 1 tablespoon of oil, rather than 1/4 cup (as called for in the book).
