This is a Greek recipe that is great as a starter but also eaten as an ouzo "meze" (snack). It is a delicious dish that I'd only tried in restaurants but I found out I can make it pretty well. By tossing with hot pasta you can turn this dish into a delicious seafood main course.

Preparation method
Prep: 5 minutes | Cook: 35 minutes1.
Place the prawns in a pot and add enough water to cover them. Boil for 5 minutes, then drain, reserving the liquid and set aside.
2.
Heat about 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan. Add the onion and cook and stir until the onions are soft. Mix in the parsley, wine, tomatoes, garlic and remaining olive oil.
3.
Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
4.
While the sauce is simmering, the prawns should have become cool enough to handle. First remove the legs by pinching them, and then pull off the shells, leaving the head and tail on.
5.
When the sauce has thickened, stir in the prawns. Bring to a simmer, and cook for about 5 minutes.
6.
Add the feta cheese and remove from the heat. Let stand until the cheese starts to melt.
7.
Serve warm.

Moderately easy
With modification this is a good recipe. Add some tomato/basil pasta sauce, thicken with rice flour and serve with grated Mozzarella as a optional sprinkle. No Feta cheese added

Altered ingredient amounts.
I'd definitely reduce the "5cm of water "- if I'd added the entire amount of prawn stock, I'd have had soup. I only used a portion of the stock, then added 1 1/2 Tbsp. of cornflour to thicken up a bit. Most of the flavour came from the feta cheese . The next time I'd add chopped kalameta olives along with some greek seasoning and fresh chopped tomatoes. Recipe does have great potential.
