Shrimp with Feta and Tomatoes (Island of Crete – Greece)

My first stop at most parties is the appetizer table.  Ninety percent of the time, the same dishes appear and most of them are not part of the Mediterranean Diet: crackers with 3 different types of cheese; chips with dip; a vegetable platter; kielbasa with mustard; deviled eggs; and of course shrimp cocktail.  I used to love shrimp with tangy cocktail sauce, but I have had so much of it over the years that it’s lost it’s appeal.  Luckily for us, Koula Barydakis has given us a traditional Greek shrimp recipe that makes me love shrimp again!  This recipe works as both an appetizer or as the main dish.  When I have it for dinner I pair it with greens (horta) and potatoes and white wine.  I think you will find this to be an amazing new way to cook shrimp that will add new flavor to both your parties and dinners.
