Roasted tomatoes with feta and shrimp

So I made a positively delicious dinner tonight, so I figured I would share. I used the last couple of tomatoes from my pseudo-MIL's garden that were starting to get a little soft, since they would only get more so in the oven. Shrimp and feta are two of my absolute favorite foods, and this dish combined them quite well.  I imagine this would be fairly healthy as well.

Go rummage around in your kitchen and find the following items:
tomatoes
garlic
shrimp
olive oil
salt/pepper
some sort of grain. I used couscous, but it would be equally good with pasta, rice, or orzo.
feta
lemon juice

So you preheat your oven to 450. Hack up your tomatoes into eighths or so. Chop up some garlic. I used four or five cloves, but we love our garlic around here.  Throw in some salt and pepper. Toss it around so it's good and coated.  Put in the oven for around 20 minutes.  Add in your shrimp, cup or so of feta, and a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice.  Bake for 10 or so minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through.  Serve with whatever grain you are using.  I had a fair amount of liquid in the bottom of my pan, and ladled some of it on the couscous, and zomg nom. This will definitely be going into the dinner rotation.  Throwing in some spinach would be a nice addition.
