CONSTANTINO PITTAS

Though the shrimp cooks for almost an hour in this dish—a specialty of the Macedonian port city of Thessaloniki—it ends up being tender and moist, perhaps due to the acidity in the cheese.

Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add scallions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add bell peppers, chiles, oregano, and parsley. Season with pepper and cook, stirring, until bell peppers are soft, about 5 minutes more.

Step 2

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until they release their juices, about 5 minutes, then add feta and milk and cook 20 minutes more. Serve warm, over rice if desired.
