Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Rice can be made ahead of time and just warn it in the microwave before mixing with the tomato mixture.
  • For an extra burst of flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the shrimp just before serving.
  • If you like a bit more spice, add an extra pinch of chili flakes to the vegetable mixture.
  • Make sure the shrimp are in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  • Don’t skip the fresh herbs in the crumb topping—they really add to the Mediterranean vibe of the dish.
