I had picked up a Williams and Senoma cook book from the library. There were so many interesting recipes, and i had a nice bag of shrimp in the freezer, so i thought i would be a fun occasion to try one out.So for this one i was missing, two of the herbs (mint and oregano). It actually called for parsley too, but i stand by my utter disgust with parsley - it will not enter my kitchen. Okay, fine - i can improvise.
The rest of the recipe was shallots and garlic which i sauteed the shallots for a few minutes, then added the garlic. After that i was supposed to add some vermouth- which for some reason i had used up. I did have sake - and some white wine... that's almost vermouth right?
I added the chopped plum tomatoes (which to be honest couldn't have been a lot riper) This basically made a nice sauce, i added the shrimp and cooked them until they were pink, added the feta and let it heat. This dish was actually quite good, the sauce was awesome, and i had an extra baguette for dipping.
