I'm so happy to be here guest posting while Shelby is out on the seas cruising with her beloved Grumpy. Not going to lie...I'm a teensy weensy bit jealous...just kidding...or am I? Hope you are having a wonderful time Shelby! (I know you are!!!)
In case you don't know me, my name is Aggie and I share recipes over at my food blog, Aggie's Kitchen. I've known Shelby for...pretty much as long as I've been blogging. We've gotten to know each well over the years, mostly for our shared love of light and healthy eating as well as pretty much everything else that goes along with blogging. I was thrilled that Shelby asked me over here to today to share one of my favorite recipes with you, Baked Shrimp with Feta and Tomatoes.
If you love shrimp, like I do, you will absolutely love this dish. It's a pretty straightforward recipe that I adapted slightly from Ellie Krieger, and can easily be put together alongside some orzo or rice for a quick and delicious weeknight dinner. It's low in calories and high in protein and could even be served with steamed or roasted broccoli or green beans if you are trying to cut back on the carbs.
We eat shrimp pretty often in our household so if you are looking for new ways to serve it up check out a few of my favorite shrimp recipes:

Thanks for having me over Shelby! Hope you all are having a great week and enjoy the recipe!
