Day 7: Greece

We honor the original creators of the Olympic games, Greece, with Gharithes Me Feta (Baked Shrimp with Feta Cheese)

Yummmm:
Baked Shrimp with Feta Cheese
Ingredients
2 medium, thinly sliced Onion
1/2 cup Olive Oil
2 lbs., peeled and coarsely chopped Tomatoes
chopped Parsley
2 teaspoons Salt
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
2 cloves Garlic
2 lbs. raw, shelled and de-veined Shrimp
1/2 lb. Feta Cheese
 Parsley


Preparation
In a frying pan saute onions in olive oil until tender. Add tomatoes, chopped parsley, salt pepper and garlic. Cover and simmer for an hour, stirring occasionally.

Put sauce and shrimp in 6 scallop shells or individual fireproof dishes. Crumble feta cheese over shrimp and bake uncovered in a very hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until shrimp are cooked and cheese is melted.

Garnish with parsley.

Our Opinion: We didn't get scallop shells, so we just threw the shrimp (cooked) into the frying pan along with the cheese. The dish seemed like shrimp scampi with a different sauce. Overall, easy to make and really delicious. It also reheat pretty well. We suggest serving with some sort of cheese biscuit.
