Is there ever a time when a one-dish meal like baked shrimp with fennel and feta doesn’t come in handy?

Either for a quick dinner at the end of the day or for last-minute guests, I turn to soups, stir-fries or anything else I can prepare in a single pot or skillet. For these kinds of dishes, it’s important to have a skillet that thrives in the oven. My favorite is the 12-inch all-clad skillet. It’s a little pricey, but once you buy it, it lasts a lifetime. (Makes for a great Christmas gift!)
This dish can be served by itself as an appetizer or paired with a hearty salad (I used mixed greens, pumpkin seeds, and a lemon vinaigrette) for a simple yet elegant dinner in just under 30 minutes.

This is perfect! I have some fennel waiting to be made into something delicious and I’ve been craving shrimp. Can’t wait to make this one. Thanks, Carrie!
I am a huge fan of one dish cooking and like you love my All Clad skillet for exactly this kind of dish – can’t wait to try this as I LOVE fennel. x
Not a big fan of shrimp, but loooove Feta. May have to give this one a try!
One dish meals are my favorite kind and this has fennel and feta which I can never say no to.
OOOHHHH how do you do it? HOW? HOW?
That’s so funny that you published this because I just finished developing a similar recipe but over pasta! It’s kismet!
This is beautiful Carrie! I gotta get my skillet out!
This looks so perfect. I have been using ghee a lot lately and love it. Some people even eat a spoonful a day for the health benefits!
Swoon! Two of my favorite loves…shrimp & feta ;D
I had a casserole almost identical to this at a party on Friday night that was divine! It was baked with orzo. Heavenly!
This looks so good! I love shrimp, and the ingredients in this one skillet baked dish sounds delicious!
I’ve seen something similar on a restaurant menu – love all the flavors and it looks easy to make too.
This is one of my favorite dishes ever made, hands down. Thank you so much! My husband was in awe.
Yay! Thanks for the feedback!
