BAKED GREEK SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES AND FETA
This traditional Greek recipe disregards the notion that seafood and cheese don't mix, and it works beautifully, resulting in a harmonious balance of flavors. Though it can be made year round with canned tomatoes, it is sensational with fresh sweet ripe ones, so best prepared in summer. Serve it as a main course with rice or potatoes, or in small portions as an appetizer, taverna-style.

Steps:
- Put 4 tablespoons olive oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Lower heat as necessary to keep mixture from browning. Remove from heat while preparing tomatoes.
- Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add whole tomatoes and cook for about 2 minutes, until skins loosen. Immediately plunge tomatoes in a bowl of cold water to cool, then drain. With a paring knife, core tomatoes and slip off skins. Cut tomatoes into thick wedges.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Return skillet to stove over medium-high heat. Add tomato wedges and season with salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until mixture is juicy and tomatoes have softened, about 10 minutes. Transfer mixture to a shallow earthenware baking dish.
- Put shrimp in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, season shrimp with salt and pepper and stir to coat. Arrange shrimp over tomato mixture in one layer. Crumble cheese over surface and sprinkle with oregano.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until tomatoes are bubbling and cheese has browned slightly. Remove from oven and let dish rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with mint and serve.

PRAWNS IN SPICY TOMATO SAUCE WITH FETA CHEESE
I came across this recipe in the most serendipitous manner...on my way to work going 50mph I saw some trash blowing across the road...it got stuck to my car and I could hear it fluttering all the way to work. When I got out of my car I found a piece of newspaper stuck to my front grill. I took it off and what was it? A torn out page from a week old newspaper that has 4 yummy sounding recipes! Wow. I feel obligated to post them now.

BAKED SHRIMP IN TOMATO FETA SAUCE
This is a fantastic recipe! I love this, and it's a wonderful mixture of fresh herbs and succulent shrimp. Each ingredient has it's own flavor, but when all put together makes for a wonderful mixture of infused flavors.I know you will love this! *Note that there are cooking and baking times, the baking times are 10-12 min. and the cooking times are approx. 10 to 20 min. ** I use my hands to break up the whole tomatoes, and I just pinch off the little, tough stem ends and toss them. You could use the same ammount o diced tomatoes, but I don't recommend them. If you open a can of whole tomatoes and pour them in bowl, side-by-side with the diced tomatoes, you would see a big difference. The whole ones will look bright red, while the diced ones appear pale. I always use the whole tomatoes whenever I can.

This is from the LooneySpoons cookbook by Greta and Janet Podleski. One of my favourite low-fat cookbooks. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about shrimp and feta together but this really delicious. Hope you like it too.

SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES AND FETA
Steps:
- In a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Scrape onion into large slow cooker. Stir in tomatoes, wine, oregano, salt to taste and crushed red pepper. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours. Rinse shrimp and pat them dry. Stir shrimp into sauce. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover and cook on high for 10 to 15 minutes, or until shrimp are tender and cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve hot. Notes from the author Shrimp cooked in a spicy tomato sauce flavored with oregano and topped with feta cheese is quick, yet impressive enough for a company meal. Serve over cooked orzo or rice. Feta is Greece's most famous cheese, but there are many varieties made throughout the world. Traditionally, feta is made from sheep's milk, though today a blend of sheep's and goat's or even cow's milk may be used. Tangy and semi-firm, feta also tastes great in a salad or tossed with cooked spinach. **Notes from WeightWatchers.com When calculating the PointsPlus values for this recipe: We used 1 tablespoon of oil, rather than 1/4 cup (as called for in the book).
