In the early 1980s, Bon Appétit had a recipe for Shrimp with Feta and Cumin Rice. I ripped out the recipe and it was one of the most requested dishes that I served to my family and company for many years. I have lost the page for that very beloved recipe ripped out so many years ago. Does anyone have the recipe?? Thank you soooooo much in advance!!!

Baked, fried, stewed?  Separately, served together or mixed?

This is a recipe that I use with orzo.  I am sure it would work equally well with rice.

Thanks, NJgirl 1205 - this recipe is similar to the recipe I'm seeking. That recipe also uses vermouth, tomatoes and cilantro. I can replicate it to a certain point, but would love to gave the original.

Hi Zhillys, 

The recipe was in two parts - the rice was prepared separately and the shrimp was prepared with vermouth, tomatoes, feta and cilantro. It was an exceptional dish that was great for company. I also changed it to include chèvre and chicken instead of shrimp and feta.

1. • 2 tablespoons olive oil
   • 1 large onion, sliced thin
   • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
   • 2 tomatoes, chopped
   • 1 lb shrimp, uncooked
   • 8 ounces feta, crumbled
   • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
   • parsley for garnish
     
     
     1. To make the Greek-style Shrimp and Feta: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add onions and garlic and saute until translucent. Stir in tomatoes and cook until sauce starts to thicken, about 10-15 minutes.
2. Add shrimp and cook until barely pink. Stir in feta and let it melt just slightly. Remove from heat. Salt and pepper to taste.
3. Top quinoa (OR cumin rice) with shirmp and vegetable mixture. Garnish with parsley.

Sorry, had to leave the computer and did not see your reply.

The autocorrect feature cracks me up sometimes!
