I really loved this dish! It was fast and easy, but still really tasty. It's going on my "keepers" list.

I was on the fence with this dish. My initial taste was kinda disappointing because I love all the individual ingredients... but the third and forth bites got better. I wouldn't serve it to company as there is just a little too much last minute prep work involved for my liking. I used grape tomatoes and my DD didn't care to see the tomato skins that were visable throughout the dish. You could barely taste the mint and I don't know whether it was worth going out and buying fresh...especially in the winter time. If I was to do the dish again, I probably would have chopped up the whole amount of mint that came in the package. With the gazillion amount of recipes for shrimp/prawns, I probably wouldn't come back to this one! Sorry!

This is a terrific recipe. It's the first time I have used fresh mint in a seafood dish and it was outstanding.

I wish this could get 10 stars!! I saw this one ages ago in a Martha Stewart magazine, but I didn't save it. So I was thrilled to find it on Zaar... and it was all I had hoped! I used tomato-basil feta, and Emerils' frozen shrimp. YUMMY!

Awesome! Very easy and full of flavor! I used Vidalia onions because I had run out of scallions and I also used grape tomatoes in place of the cherry and fresh shrimp instead of frozen. All substitutes worked well with this recipe. I will definitely make this again! Thank you, Chef Vseward!
