Easy and tasty
Great!
After making this dish often over the years, I one time substituted shrimp for cod pieces. WONDERFUL!
The perfect mix of flavors. I added a can of Rotel HOT diced tomatoes, Lord have mercy! Also I sautéed the shrimp and added them just before sliding the dish under the broiler for a few minutes tops. (I cannot imagine cooking shrimp longer than a few minutes.) I served over jasmine rice. Kudos to the submitter.
The sauce is amazing! I can see me making it as a base for other recipes.
Very good! I used1/2 – 3/4 of the wine, doubled the garlic, added a can of white beans to tomato mixture. Cooked the shrimp in the reduced tomato sauce & servee over orzo. (What’s with the extra step of the oven??)
OMG, this is so tasty! The first time I made it as an appetizer and everyone just wanted more. Now I make it as an entree and serve with lots of crusty bread.
yummy, had over couscous. Broiled the shrimp for maybe 5 minutes
Outstanding!! I added an onion, salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook time is a bit long, 20 to 30 min in the oven will do it.
the best and was wondering about doing with chicken ?
Delicious! We have served it several times to company and they always ask for the recipe. It is simple, you just have to prepare a little ahead of time because cooking down the sauce initial takes one hour, but it is easy and nice that once that is complete it only requires baking and no further time.
I loved this. My husband seemed slightly less enthused – he would have preferred no lemon at the end. The only thing I changed was to not bake it as long – that would have been some really over cooked shrimp.
awesome recipe!!!, i even tried this with calamari, i stuffed the whole calamari with the tomatoe/feta sauce put it in cooking dish drizzled olive oil and salt and broiled it, also really tasty!!
Absolutely love it! Have made it multiple times now following the recipe as is and it comes out great.
Made this for an Alfresco dinner served with a Greek village salad and warm bread… Fantastic…
This wasn’t quite as good as I expected, but maybe it’s because I half cooked it at home and that finished it off at a friend’s house when I arrived. When I reheated the leftovers, I sprinkled a little dried basil over it and it really gave the dish a flavor boost.
The sauce was outstanding! The shrimp became overcooked. I will make this dish again, but I will cook the shrimp, sprinkle with the feta cheese and run it under the broiler for a few moments.
Outstanding! So FULL of flavor! I served this over whole wheat rottini. I didn’t have time to bake so after I simmered the wine mixture for an hour, I added the shrimp to the skillet and cooked until pink. Then I added the feta a simmered for 5 minutes more. This one is a keeper!!
Great dish; easy to prepare and will make you smile. Full of fresh tastes, colors, goes swell with a white bread / rice. Thanks!!
Very simple prep and such a great payoff. Loved it.
Loved this, just loved it. I think you could substitute less expensive meats to make a less pricey dish, probably even tofu for vegetarians, but definitely, make it with the shrimp sometime!
