Greek Shrimp with Feta Cheese

  
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   
2 pounds Shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons Lemon Juice
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1/2 cup Onion, chopped
2 Scallions, finely chopped (green and white parts)
2 cloves Garlic, finely chopped
1 cup Tomato Puree
1/2 cup Dry White Wine
1 tablespoon Butter
1/4 cup Ouzo or Brandy (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried Greek Oregano
3 tablespoons chopped Fresh Parsley
1/2 pound Feta Cheese, cut into 1/2" cubes
 
   
Preparation:  
   
Mix the shrimp with the lemon juice and let stand while preparing the sauce.

Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over moderate heat, and saute the onion, scallions, and garlic for 3 minutes, until limp. Add the tomato puree and wine and simmer for 15 minutes. In a separate pan, melt the butter and saute the shrimp for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the ouzo or brandy and ignite it carefully, shaking the pan gently until the flame dies down. Add the oregano and parsley and toss to combine. Place the shrimp in the bottom of a 2 quart (2 L) ovenproof dish, along with the juices from the pan. Pour the tomato sauce over the shrimp, and top with the feta cheese. Bake in a preheated 375°F (190°C) ovenfor 10 to 15 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
