This was a good, easy recipe to follow, we did cut back on the oil a little but I don't think it affected it hugely. We made the sauce with herbs fresh from our garden, and I suggest you'll want crusty bread to mop those gorgeous juices up!

Very similar to a recipe I have used many times, this is delicious. Try using Cavender's Greek Seasoning, about 1 tsp in place of the oregano and salt and it really ups the flavor. This can also be made in one skillet, after the sauce has reduced, toss in the prawns and feta till the prawns are just no longer pink and the cheese is melted and serve over whole wheat angel hair pasta. Mmmmmm
