Shrimp with Roasted Peppers and Feta

So I've never actually made this but Real Simple e-mailed it to me today and I couldn't not share it! I imagine that if you roasted your own peppers and used low fat feta you could probably reduce the fat/calories/etc. In any event YUM!!!!! I love Real Simple ....

1 12-ounce jar roasted red peppers
1 bunch scallions
1 head garlic
1 1/2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
8 ounces Feta
4 1-quart resealable plastic freezer bags

Freeze It:
Drain the peppers and cut into 1-inch pieces. Slice the scallions and 2 cloves garlic. Combine the vegetables in a bowl with the shrimp, 2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Divide the mixture among 4 resealable plastic freezer bags, top with the Feta (crumbled), and freeze, for up to 3 months, until ready to cook.

Cook It:
Heat oven to 400° F. Remove the shrimp mixture from the bags (you'll need one bag per serving) and place in individual baking dishes or a large casserole, making sure the Feta is on top.
Bake until the shrimp are cooked through and the Feta begins to brown, about 20 minutes.

Yield: Makes 4 servings
