Instructions
  1. Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil (for blanching tomatoes).
  2. Put 4 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add diced shallots and minced garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes.
  3. While the shallots and garlic are cooking, add whole tomatoes to the boiling water and cook for about 2 minutes, until skins loosen. Immediately plunge tomatoes in a bowl of cold water to cool then drain.
  4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  5. With a paring knife, core tomatoes and slip off skins. Cut tomatoes into thick wedges.
  6. Add tomato wedges to skillet with shallots and garlic and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook, at medium-high heat, stirring until mixture is juicy and tomatoes have softened, about 10 minutes.
  7. Transfer the tomato mixture to a shallow earthenware baking dish.
  8. Put shrimp in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, season shrimp with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Arrange shrimp over tomato mixture in one layer. Crumble feta cheese over surface and sprinkle with oregano.
  9. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until tomatoes are bubbling and cheese has browned slightly. Remove from oven and let dish rest for 5 minutes.
  10. Sprinkle with fresh chopped mint and serve.
