Garlic Shrimp, Lemon and Feta Spaghetti

NetraC's Note:

This is a meal from the Australian Super Food Ideas magazine, Dec 2007. My husband has made this a couple of times already - it is SO quick and super fast to slap together. The taste is absolutely divine. One of our favourites and I asked for it for our anniversary dinner. Enjoy!

I cooked this tonight with some spinach. It was great. My husband liked it very much. Thanks!

Ohmigawd this is wonderful! I did halve the recipe but other than that (and perhaps using somewhat more lemon rind), I followed the recipe exactly. Oh yes, I used thin rather than regular spaghetti. Also, I used about 1 T of olive oil to saute the onion, then added another tablespoon and heated it before adding the shrimp. I recommend this dish without any reservation whatsoever. Try it!
