SPEEDY SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES, FETA CHEESE, AND BASIL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450°F. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté until pink and just cooked through. Add the garlic and toss. Remove from the heat and sprinkle lightly with liqueur. Return the skillet to the heat, stir in the scallions, and cook for 30 more seconds. Season lightly with salt, then mix the shrimp with the tomato sauce, fold in the basil, and pour into a wide, shallow casserole dish or 4 individual (10-ounce) ovenproof dishes. Sprinkle with the feta cheese and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is slightly brown and casserole is nice and hot.

Stir in the herbs and cook for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes, Bouquet Garni, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil and let simmer for about 15 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper flakes, but go easy on the salt, as the feta will be salty too. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside until ready to use. Remove the Bouquet Garni.
