If you love Greek shrimp recipes, you need to try this one. It’s a wonderfully simple dish made by gently poaching tender shrimp in a Greek-inspired garlic and cherry tomato sauce. A finish of feta cheese, chopped parsley, and lemon zest pulls all those bright Mediterranean flavors together beautifully.

This is an ideal weeknight recipe since it comes together in under 30 minutes. I like to serve it with a slice of garlic bread to soak up every bit of the sauce—it’s effortless, satisfying, and really completes the meal.

What to serve with Greek shrimp

Greek shrimp is a wonderfully saucy recipe that almost demands a thick slice of bread to mop up the juices. Some sourdough bread or our no yeast bread with herbs and cheese would be ideal. Some garlic butter rice is another delicious option. Here are a few veggie sides that go well with this shrimp dish:

  • Garlic Butter Asparagus
  • Sauteed Green Beans with Garlic
  • Greek Salad

Variations to try

  • Add a cup of pitted kalamata olives.
  • In a pinch, use a can of diced tomatoes instead of fresh tomatoes.
  • Squeeze some lemon juice over top for a lightly tangy flavor.
  • Stir in several handfuls of spinach at the end of cooking.
