    Holy cow - these shrimp took me back to summer on the island of Symi! These shrimp are super easy and absolutely delicious. I threw in a mild dried Chili pepper and some slivered fennel, and was a bit more generous with the capers. It it’s the dill that really makes this dish hum! This will be fantastic this summer on the deck! Make this!

    Guess who made your Greek Shrimp recipe today for 13 stock brokers? ME!! They L..O..V..E..D it!! It just so happened i had dill weed, and capers, so i was like YES, i'm making it!!! I marinated the shrimp in the orange and lemon zest in beautiful big long zests, olive oil, salt and pepper. I sauteed the garlic. i was in danger of overcooking the shrimp so i pulled out the ones that looked done and added them back in later. i only had the small capers so used those, they worked out great. i boiled down the shrimp shell juice too! i didn't have any white wine so i used marsala wine and added it to the shrimp shell water which worked fine. when i added the shrimp shell juice into the dish, it lacked a little brightness, so i added lemon juice at the end of cooking. Worked great! i didn't even have a spare minute to cut up the colorful baby tomatoes so i just threw 1.5 containers of them into the food processor with the s blade...with the dillweed...for a quick pulse chop and threw it in with the cooking shrimp. When everything was said and done, I crumbled some feta over top. Oh my, this is a winner, they flipped!

    I have made your recipe now several times...such a hit and now my very favourite way to cook these. I can get wild caught from Argentinia (I live in Spain). Thanks again...and oh yes...that citrus zest and your reduction 'secret' are absolute tops!
