Spicy Baked Shrimp with Feta Cheese
and Jalapeno Peppers
We're truly loving our garden this year. Most of the ingredients were taken fresh from this garden and tossed into the sauce, which makes this recipe extremely garden friendly. Large prawns are great for this one, but feel free to use the smaller shrimp for a more budget-conscious meal.
