I tried this recipe because I wanted to try my homemade feta. It was great and a great combination of flavors. Thanks!

    I doubled the recipe so we'd have leftovers, and I'm glad I did. This was delicious and surprisingly easy. I didn't really pay attention to the order of ingredients and just threw everything together in a baking dish and covered it with foil. I used the pre-cooked shrimp with tails still on since that's what I found at the store. Other than chopping the green onions and grating some lemon rind, there isn't much prep work. I might try adding asparagus or another veggie next time.

    OH MAN!!! This was so good!! I don't know anything about cooking bags either, so I just cooked mine in a glass baking dish, covered with foil. I accidentally grabbed the wrong bottle and added a little balsamic vinegar (meant to grab the olive oil! OOPS) in addition to the oil. Didn't seem to affect the quality of the dish. I had to stop myself from eating the whole thing it was so good! Thanks for sharing.

    this was really good. i added a small zucchini, diced, and a diced shallot. i also tripled the recipe, and used the zest of one lemon and the juice of 2. i used fresh basil, raw shrimp, and lots of feta. delicious
