shrimp and fennel This was easy and delicious. I added garlic, green beans and a pinch of cinnamon to enhance the Greek touch.

Mediterran sauteed shrimp and fennel This is delicious. I added red pepper flakes, minced garlic and spinach as per another recommendation. Served over pasta. Great, quick meal. Jan Pros: Very easy and quick Cons: Have another person clean and peel shrimp

Quick and extremely easy to prepare, but disappointingly bland given the bold flavors of some of the individual ingredients (fennel, capers, feta). Not a bad dish, but not one I'd make again.
