Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

This recipe was from Saveur magazine and is delicious served with some grilled bread to dip into the cheese and tomato base.
Our local market had roasted garlic bread and I simply grilled it and then drizzled it with some olive oil.

4 Tbsp. EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
4 cloves GARLIC, minced
4 SCALLIONS, minced
1 Tbsp. TOMATO PASTE
1/2 c. WHITE WINE
1 tsp. dried OREGANO
1/2 tsp. SUGAR
1/4 tsp. crushed RED CHILE FLAKES
4 medium TOMATOES, grated (I used the equivalent of chopped canned tomatoes)
3 Tbsp. fresh MINT (I omitted this)
16 LARGE SHRIMP (3/4-1 pound), peeled and deveined
SALT and freshly ground PEPPER, to taste
4 oz. FETA CHEESE
1 LEMON, halved
1 Tbsp. fresh PARSLEY, minced

Arrange a rack 4 inches from the heating element and heat oven to broil.

In the meantime, heat oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat.
Add garlic and scallions; cook, until soft, 3-4 minutes.
Stir in tomato paste; cook for 2 minutes.
Add wine; cook until reduced by half, 3-4 minutes.

Add oregano, sugar, chile flakes, and tomatoes; boil.
Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, 12 minutes.
Stir in mint and shrimp, season with salt and pepper.

Divide into 4 oven proof shallow dishes and crumble feta over the top.
Broil until bubbly, 3-5 minutes.

Squeeze lemon over top and garnish with parsley.
