  • “This recipe is TO DIE FOR!My husband said it tastes like “Greek, Italian, and Cajun combined!”I took the tails off of the shrimp (kiddos don’t like the hassle), and I served it as a main course with lemon rice pilaf and steamed broccoli.I made quite a bit, and there were NO leftovers!I also sauteed the onion in roasted garlic flavored olive oil.Yummy!”

  • “Hi! I made this recipe for a greek diner party I was giving. It was a hit. The preparation was so easy.The taste was exceptional.The other couple wanted the recipe to take home. I loved the taste & the ease of everything involved.Your recipe was great keep up the good giving.I like to get.”

  • “What a winner this was.What I really liked was the flavour of the shrimp was not covered up with a heavy sauce.It went over very well with my dinner guests as well.Very enjoyable and easy to prepare.Thank you Sue.”

  • “This recipe was excellent, SueL. I served this as a very late dinner last night and I was very pleased with the results. I particularly liked the tang of the Feta cheese combined with the wine and shrimp. Great recipe, thanks!”

  • “I scaled this recipe down to 2 servings and made it for lunch. I added a bit more garlic and oregano (because we really like these) and used regular feta because I had an open package. My husband hates having the tips of the shrimp shell left on in anything with a sauce, so I took those off (carefully so as not to loose the tip of the tail).The sauce smells just wonderful while it is cooking, it had my husband hovering wanting to know when it would be ready. I will definitely make this again, it tasted even better than it smelled… A real keeper.”

  • “This recipe is GREAT and so easy to prepare ! I have made it twice in as many weeks. I too removed the tails of the shrimp for easier eating. In the last five minutes of baking I added a dozen or so black olives. It was delicious served with penne pasta. Thanks! Mountain Girl”

  • “This is really easy to make and was a big hit.”

  • “Fabulous shrimp recipe!! The onion and wine in the sauce was most flavorful. I served the shrimp as a main dish with angel hair pasta, broccoli and salad. It made an elegant and delicious dinner. Thanks Sue L.”

  • “AMAZING! It’s rare that my daughter wants seconds but she inhaled these shrimp. Served with Garlic Butter pasta. I added some crushed red peppers and it was amazing! Will make again. Tossed it with angle hair pasta, it was great”

  • “YUM! A new favorite – the sauce is great and made the whole house smell amazing.I followed the recipe, but only used 1 lb. of shrimp and added tomato paste, red pepper flakes, italian seasoning and lemons due to reviews.Served with brown rice and green beans.Thank you for this keeper.”

  • “Very good, fairly easy and looks nice and fancy!I served it over short noodles for my husband.I appreciate that it is nice and healthy.Personally, I would have liked a little bit of a thicker sauce however, and may consider using some thicker tomato sauce or paste next time to go over the pasta.But the recipe itself is grand, thank you.”

  • “Needed a little more…added crushed red pepper a little lemon.Nice recipe.. Thanks for posting…”

  • “We liked this a lot. I made it exactly as directed. I think next time I would add a bit more onion, tomato, some zucchini and maybe a green pepper or something so there’s more veggies. We also tried it will some Parmesan sprinkled on top and it really added to the flavor. Will make this again.”

  • “Good recipe which she who must be obeyed has determined to be a keeper. I scaled it back to a quarter pound of shrimp for the two of us but didn’t scale everything else back quite as much. A couple of minor changes, fish sauce instead of salt and a little sriracha as we like some heat.”

  • “OMG! I wasnt sure what to expect, but it was fantastic… I used a can of whole peeled tomatoes and cut them up and I also did not have scallions so I used half a red onion. It was soooo good, definitely something I am going to make again”

  • “This recipe was pretty good but I added a whole lot more garlic and seasonings than called for and it was still lacking something.I’m not sure what it could have used but it definitely needed something; maybe even to just salt and pepper the shrimp before covering with the sauce.Regardless, we all enjoyed it and my 12 y.o. couldn’t stop raving about it.I will definitely make this dish again but with some minor tweaking.Thanks for posting!”

  • “We loved this!My husband asked me to put it into rotation!
    Thanks for an easy, delish shrimp dish :)”

  • “This was incredible!We served it with a baguette sliced into rounds.I omitted the medium sized onion, used 3 green onions, canned tomatoes, and added about 1/2 cup of sliced Kalamatas.I had only 1lb of shrimp on hand, but we loved having the extra sauce.We will make this again and again.Thanks so much Kim!”

  • “I was expecting a totally different taste but it was good. Be advised that if you make a smaller serving than offered, excluding the shrimp and the seasonings, you may want to increase all your other ingredients. It was good, light, and tasty!”

  • “Big hit at our house.My 8 year old said this was the “Best Shrimp Ever”.I left out the green onions, used canned tomatoes, and took the tails off the shrimp.Served with orzo.Will definitely be making this again.”
