Thank you for the recipe, Mary. This is delicious and has become a regular dish at my house. It's also nice for dinner guests.

Delicious thanks Mary. I made a half recipe, but still used all the garlic and feta cheese. I used a hot red chilli instead of the ground red pepper-it had the perfect amount of heat fr us.

This has a nice flavor, somewhat different shrimp recipe, but I liked the change. Served it with a Greek salad. I served it over orzo pasta.
