Hell's Kitchen Shrimp

Submitted by Lennie

"This dish originates with the old Paradise Restaurant in Manhattan, on 41st Street. I have not made this shrimp dish, but am putting it up here as I seek out "american" and "new york" recipes in honour of the first anniversary of the September 11 tragedy. This recipe was originally published in "Secrets from New York's Best Restaurants", and repeated in "New York Cookbook"."

Lennie thank you so much for sharing this dish...We enjoyed it very much. It was very tasty and easy to make. I will be making this again and again. The feta cheese adds a very nice flavour to the dish.

REALLY GOOD! This smelled so delicious as I was cooking it and it tasts great too! I did add a lot more garlic, as I do like it more garlic-y. I also used Splenda instead of sugar, and used a dry california white wine. The feta cheese certainly added a lot to the dish...very good!
