Greek Shrimp with Feta

Previously on [eatingclub] vancouver:

First, it was:
"What are we going to do with this tub of feta?"

Then:
"What are we going to do with this marinated feta?"

After solving our feta problem, or at least, prolonging its life, we now had to find a way to use it.



Looking for Greek inspiration, we searched Peter's site, Kalofagas, which has become our go-to site for everything Greek cuisine-related.

We had some shrimp waiting in the fridge, so we wanted the very Greek combination of shrimp and feta. TS found two recipes combining shrimp/prawns with feta, and, as she is wont to do, she morphed the two to make this dish.

This is like that Spice Girls song: 2 Become 1. ;)

This is our Greek Shrimp with Feta, inspired by Peter's Shrimp Saganaki and Prawns Tourkolimano.

I started by making the tomato sauce.

In the pan are tomatoes, green peppers, onions, a hot pepper, garlic, and of course, oregano. I let it cook until it slightly thickened.

Then it was just a matter of adding the shrimp and our marinated feta.

I had originally planned to bake it in the oven, but it was taking too long for us! (Those shrimp were packed tight in that pan.) So, I put it on the stovetop and finished it off.

This dish really was as simple as that.

This was absolutely delicious!

That sauce, that sauce -- I tell you, that is red gold. The feta cheese might have melted into the sauce and is unseen but it did its work, making the sauce lipsmackingly, lickingly, lipsmackingly, creamily, GOOD. This dish exceeded my expectations.

We made spaghetti to have with the shrimp, thinking it would stretch the dish further. But thank goodness I had some of my deformed loaves lying about, because bread, bread, crusty white bread, was absolutely essential for mopping up all the deliciousness.

Thank you once again to Peter of Kalofagas for another delicious meal.

When it was over and all the shrimp were gone, we still had some of the sauce left. We just proceeded to put some of the sauce over rice (no bread left) and it was still all that fantastic.

I only wish I could've done a better job in taking a picture of the dish. Believe me, the taste is about a million times better than the pictures.
