Recipe creator barbara says this is a great way to get dinner on the table in about 30 minutes, and she usually serves with rice.

Two to three servings of fish and seafood a week is what is recommended in the Mediterranean diet. For one of your weekly servings, try this easy shrimp sheet pan supper, which is loaded with vegetables and calls for olive oil, the "liquid gold" that is all-important in the Mediterranean diet.

Simple Roasted Tomato Soup

If you're a person that's perfectly happy to call a cozy bowl of soup dinner, then this is for you. Roma tomatoes, onion, and garlic are roasted on sheet pans, then blitzed with olive oil and broth until deliciously creamy. The trick to the creaminess without any cream is to add a steady stream of olive oil while blending until smooth. The oil emulsifies and creates a soup so creamy that you'd swear it's loaded with dairy! Serve with a hearty slice of wholegrain grilled bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil.
