Garlic Shrimp, Lemon and Feta Spaghetti

Submitted by NetraC

"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!

This was perfect! Very Quick to make and plan to use it next time I have people over. I did cheat a little and bought garlic prawns so didn't add the extra garlic. Only down side of the garlic prawns is there is alot of oil so be careful. Thanks for posting this NetraC :)

I love this recipe and have made it countless times. Last night I made it using spinach linguini to which I added 4 tbsp. of butter and some garlic salt and black pepper. Added some chopped fresh basil with the parsley. So good!
