Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 60 seconds.

  3. Step 3

    Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid browning.

  4. Step 4

    Sear shrimp 90 seconds per side without moving until edges turn opaque and pink.

  5. Step 5

    Pour ouzo and lemon juice into the pan, then add cherry tomatoes. Simmer for 2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Remove from heat, scatter feta and dill over top, and serve immediately from the skillet.
