Big flavors, zero stress—this Greek-inspired baked shrimp and artichoke dish brings some zest to dinner with a rich tomato sauce, tangy feta, and a quick trip to the oven. Just add rice, pasta, or a fork!
The beauty of this baked shrimp and artichoke recipe—besides being ridiculously easy and practically impossible to mess up—is its flexibility. Not a fan of artichokes? No problem! Swap them out for peppers, zucchini or broccoli.
This dish is a two-part act: first, a stovetop sauté and simmer for the sauce, then a quick bake in the oven for the shrimp. The key is using an ovenproof skillet—like this one—so you can slide it straight into the oven without dirtying another dish. Because let’s be real: fewer dishes = a happier cook.
Ingredients and substitutions
- Shrimp: Start with large raw (31-40 per pound) shrimp. If it’s not already prepped, peel and devein the shrimp (remove the tails, too).
- Artichokes: Use artichoke hearts that are canned in water. If you can’t find ones that are already quartered, cut them into quarters through the stem. Feel free to swap with peppers or zucchini.
- Tomatoes: I used a combination of canned petite diced tomatoes and canned tomato sauce. If you prefer, use canned crushed tomatoes or solely petite diced tomatoes.
- Aromatics: Yellow onion and garlic cloves.
- Seasonings: You’ll need dried oregano, crushed red pepper (adjust for your spiciness preference), salt, pepper and fresh parsley.
- Feta: Purchase crumbled feta or buy a block and crumble it with your fingers or a fork.
How to make baked shrimp and artichokes
⭐️ See full recipe card below. ⭐️
- Start by making the marinara sauce. Sauté some onions, garlic and seasonings. Add the canned tomatoes. Let it simmer.
- Nestle the shrimp and artichokes into the sauce and bake until the shrimp is just cooked through. Sprinkle with feta and bake for another minute.
- Serve it over rice, quinoa or pasta. For lower carb options, try cauliflower rice, cauliflower gnocchi or zucchini noodles.
Make-ahead and storage
This baked shrimp recipe is best enjoyed right away. When reheated the shrimp tends to overcook and become a bit rubbery.
However, follow this tip to minimize that issue:
- Cool the shrimp dish, then refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in a skillet set over medium-low heat. This is the best way to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
- Can I microwave it, you ask? Technically, yes. However, the shrimp will become rubbery. If you don’t mind that, then microwave for about 1 minute.
