Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. And the onion and saute it until it turns translucent. Stir in the garlic, cherry tomatoes, honey, Greek seasoning, salt, and chili flakes.
- Heat the sauce until the tomatoes release some of their liquid and start to simmer then lower the heat to medium and continue to cook, uncovered, for 12-15 minutes, until the tomatoes are thick and jammy. Use a wooden spoon to gently squish any whole tomatoes that haven't burst.
- Add the shrimp and stir them into the tomato sauce. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, just until they turn opaque.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the feta cheese, parsley, and lemon zest.
