Greek shrimp is the Mediterranean dinner that feels like a coastal vacation and takes 15 minutes — plump shrimp in a bright lemon-garlic-herb sauce, finished with salty feta. Serve it over orzo, with crusty bread, or on its own. The flavor is one Greek seasoning and a lemon.
This uses Greek Crack, our herby Greek blend, so you skip measuring oregano and a fistful of herbs.
Why it's a fast favorite
- 15 minutes flat. Shrimp cook in minutes.
- One seasoning = the whole Mediterranean flavor.
- Feels fancy, isn't. Great for guests or a quiet weeknight.

Ingredients
Method
- Season shrimp. Toss shrimp with 1/2 Tbsp Greek Crack.
- Sauté garlic. Heat oil over medium; cook garlic 30 seconds.
- Tomatoes. Add tomatoes and remaining 1/2 Tbsp seasoning; simmer 4–5 min until saucy.
- Add shrimp. Stir in shrimp; cook 3–4 min until pink and opaque.
- Finish. Lemon juice, crumble feta over the top, scatter herbs. Serve.
Total time: 15 minutes. Serves 4.
Pro tips
- Add shrimp last — they overcook fast.
- Don't skip the feta — it melts slightly into the sauce and ties it together.
- A splash of white wine in step 3 makes it restaurant-level.
Ways to serve
- Over orzo (the classic pairing).
- With crusty bread to mop the sauce.
- Over rice or with a Greek salad.
FAQ
Frozen shrimp? Thaw fully and pat dry.
Is it spicy? No — bright and herby, not hot. Add chili flakes if you want a kick.
Make ahead? Best fresh, but the tomato base can be made ahead.
