1½ lbs jumbo shrimp
4 T olive oil

4 – 5 garlic cloves, minced
16 oz jar of good quality crushed tomatoes
½ c dry white wine (or Sambuca)

Shell and devein shrimp. Wash and drain. In skillet, sauté the onions and garlic in olive oil until soft and transparent. Add the shrimp and cook for 1 minute. Add the wine tomatoes and seasonings. Stir in the feta cheese and bake at 400° for about 12 minutes or until the cheese has melted a bit. Remove from oven, sprinkle on the parsley and serve (with pita bread).

Notes:

1. I now will only use Macedonian feta which I think is the best.
