Delicious and ultra healthy. The fennel flavor which is wonderful naturally permeates the shrimp making it taste good without an unhealthy dose of cream or oil! Read More

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. Read More
