These saucy shrimp spiked with cinnamon, allspice, and feta quickly disappeared in our test kitchen. Have plenty of bread on hand for sopping up the juices.

I added some chopped fresh parsley to the shrimp before baking them.

I didn't have any lemon zest on hand, so I used lemon juice instead.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I had some cooked shrimp in the fridge and this was the perfect way to use them up.

I didn't have any lemon zest on hand, so I used lemon juice instead. It still turned out great.
