Marinated shrimp and spinach come together to make a simple yet flavorful dish enhanced with bits of feta cheese.

The feta cheese and spinach mingle nicely with the lemon-spiked shrimp. Serve this shrimp dish with baked potatoes or a rice dish for a light yet satisfying weeknight meal.

If you aren't a fan of feta cheese, you can substitute with shredded mozzarella cheese or Parmesan.

12 to 16 ounces medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons oregano (dried crumbled)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups fresh spinach leaves (stems removed)
4 ounces feta cheese (cut into 1/2-inch pieces)

Gather the ingredients.
Peel the shrimp. With a sharp knife, make a shallow cut down the back of a shrimp. Remove the dark vein. Repeat with the remaining shrimp, then rinse them under cold water. Pat dry.
Place the shrimp in a large bowl. Combine the lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper; pour over the shrimp. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Drain the shrimp, reserving marinade.
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet. Add shrimp and saute for 2 minutes. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and then add the spinach. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
Return the shrimp to pan and crumble feta over top; cover and cook 2 minutes longer, or until shrimp is cooked through.
Serve and enjoy!
