Lemon and Feta.
I could hardly believe how delicious this was. Of course it helps to have some sweet, briny shrimp, that escaped the Gulf oil spill disaster. When the sauce reduced, it wasn't feta'eed or garlic'eed, just a nice creamy sauce that tasted great over orzo. I had basil growing on my patio, no cilantro, the basil made it great!
Shrimp with Capers, Lemon, and Feta
2 T. EVOO
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb. large shrimp, shelled and cleaned
1/3 cup crumbled feta
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1-2 T. capers to taste (I used one)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 T. chopped fresh cilantro or basil, plus additional for garnish.
1. Heat the EVOO in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, stirring, and cook until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute. Stir in the shrimp, then add the feta, lemon juice, capers, and the salt and pepper.
2. Continue stirring over the heat until the shrimp become just opaque and the sauce begins to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add the cilantro or basil and stir to combine. Serve with additional herbs, if desired.
