Baked Cheesy Prawns

Submitted by Andy Jewell

"Another cracking starter "discovered" from holidays in Greece. Prawns with cheese sound like a real "no-no" but in truth the salty Feta goes together wonderfully with the prawns. You can use shrimp large or small as well as prawns for this dish, but if you are using cooked rather than raw reduce the cooking time or the prawns will go tough."

These were good, I followed the recipe exactly. I found they tood about 20mins to cook but I did have them in one dish. I served them over some polenta to seep up the juices. I think I would add some chilli next time.
