Greek Fever

If there was one thing I could change about my husband's taste, it would be this: that he liked shrimp...and feta. Two things I love and he happens to hate! (I know, I know, my life is so tough :)

It's for this reason that I rarely make one of my favorite Cooking Light dishes. But because I adore him exactly the way he is, I concede and only make this particular meal when a) He won't be home for dinner, or b) I also make something else that only he likes (ie: Polska Kielbasa...ick!).

And as you have probably figured out, I recently had one of the above case scenarios because I was able to whip up said dinner and decided it was a must share. You might even love it as much as I do and consequently make it more often than I find myself doing...in which case you should invite me over and we can love on it together;)

Without further ado, I give you, Greek-Style Scampi ~
