For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the oregano. Serve this dish with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce, or over a bed of linguine or rice for a more substantial meal. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they can become rubbery. Cook just until they turn pink and opaque. Fresh herbs make a big difference. If you have it, substitute fresh oregano for dried oregano, using about 1 teaspoon. A squeeze of lemon at the end brightens the dish, too.
