Recipe: Greek Shrimp With Tomatoes and Peas

Grab a large skillet for a delicious journey to the Mediterranean. Take advantage of the scrumptious sauce by serving with pasta or rice. For an added nutritional (and taste) boost, try whole grain pasta or brown rice.

1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
½ cup chopped parsley
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon dried oregano leaves
Salt and pepper to taste
2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled
¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/3 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese

2. Stir in tomatoes, parsley, garlic, oregano and season to taste. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and cook 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
