This recipe is TO DIE FOR! My husband said it tastes like "Greek, Italian, and Cajun combined!" I took the tails off of the shrimp (kiddos don't like the hassle), and I served it as a main course with lemon rice pilaf and steamed broccoli. I made quite a bit, and there were NO leftovers! I also sauteed the onion in roasted garlic flavored olive oil. Yummy!

What a winner this was. What I really liked was the flavour of the shrimp was not covered up with a heavy sauce. It went over very well with my dinner guests as well. Very enjoyable and easy to prepare. Thank you Sue.

This recipe was excellent, SueL. I served this as a very late dinner last night and I was very pleased with the results. I particularly liked the tang of the Feta cheese combined with the wine and shrimp. Great recipe, thanks!

I scaled this recipe down to 2 servings and made it for lunch. I added a bit more garlic and oregano (because we really like these) and used regular feta because I had an open package. My husband hates having the tips of the shrimp shell left on in anything with a sauce, so I took those off (carefully so as not to loose the tip of the tail). The sauce smells just wonderful while it is cooking, it had my husband hovering wanting to know when it would be ready. I will definitely make this again, it tasted even better than it smelled... A real keeper.
