Step 1
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid browning.
Step 4
Sear shrimp 90 seconds per side without moving until edges turn opaque and pink.
Step 5
Pour ouzo and lemon juice into the pan, then add cherry tomatoes. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from heat, scatter feta and dill over top, and serve immediately from the skillet.
