Roasted Shrimp with Feta p.146

This was excellent.  It took about 45 minutes, starting with frozen shrimp, to prepare. I easily made this after work.  It calls for wine so I measured what I needed and then my husband and I drank the rest of the wine and talked while I cooked this dish.  I felt very sophisticated drinking wine while I cooked a gourmet shrimp dish.  You could easily do some of the prep work the night before and then it should only take 20-30 minutes.  I would not change anything in this dish.  I might try making it with salmon or tilapia. The cost of this dish with the shrimp was expensive.  It cost $13 not counting the wine.  I did not use the Pernod in this dish because of the cost.  I served this with snap peas with pancetta and apple tart.

  1. I was thinking about making this, but I'm not a Feta lover. I wonder if another type of cheese would work? I have some so I will try it that way first. You made it sound good and easy. I'm enjoying this blog. Thanks for setting us up. Nancy T

  2. You could use any kind of cheese you like. It would also be good without any cheese.

  3. WOW...this one sounds good Kathy. I hear you on the budget...I wonder if this one would work on crappie...just kidding, I'm looking forward to trying this one but I will probably change up the cheese & wine too.

  4. I made this tonight because of you made it sound so good. It really was delicious. I used the feta, because I had it and thought it tasted very good in this dish. I also did not use the Pernod, and didn't have fresh parsley on hand so I used the dried parsley flakes and they were fine. Thanks for recommending this one.
