Shrimp with Feta
Though the shrimp cooks for almost an hour in this dish—a specialty of the Macedonian port city of Thessaloníki—it ends up being tender and moist, perhaps due to the acidity in the cheese.

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 scallions, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
1 small fresh red chile, seeded and finely chopped
1 tbsp. finely chopped
fresh oregano
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 lbs. medium shrimp
4 plum tomatoes, peeled,
seeded, and chopped
1/2 lb. feta, crumbled
3 tbsp. milk
1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add scallions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add bell peppers, chiles, oregano, and parsley. Season with pepper and cook, stirring, until bell peppers are soft, about 5 minutes more.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook until they release their juices, about 5 minutes, then add feta and milk and cook 20 minutes more. Serve warm, over rice if desired.

Really? Cooking shrimp for almost an hour? Can someone who made this confirm the timing?

Stacy, we test all our recipes thoroughly before running them in SAVEUR or on the website, and we are committed to accuracy in the kitchen. We've made this, and we can confirm that the timing is correct.
Deliciousness times 100! Everything in this recipe is exactly as it should be! To those that had questions about the cooking time -- it turns out perfectly. I served with a side of jasmin rice and dijon balsamic fresh green beans and the meal was amazing! Thank you, Saveur!!!
