A Mediterranean blend of feta, wine, garlic and oregano seasons this bold, beautiful dish. Serve it with crusty bread to soak up the delightful sauce. —Sonali Ruder, New York, New York

The History of Feta

FETA is a white, salty, semi-firm cheese. Traditionally it was made from sheep or goat's milk but is now also made with cow's milk. After feta is formed in a special mold, it's sliced into large pieces, salted and soaked in brine. Although feta cheese is mostly associated with Greek cooking, "feta" comes from the Italian word "fette", meaning slice of food.

Full-Bodied White Wine

Enjoy this recipe with a full-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or Viognier.

Very tasty. Had a friend over for dinner Saturday and served this. We about licked our plates! Great with crusty bread for dipping.

This is a very tasty shirimp dish. I would be very good with crusty bread. I didn't have any bread, so I served it with a side of rice, which was delicious. Very fragrant, nice looking and easy dish to prepare. Will try it again.
