Instructions

1- Place the prawns in a pot and add enough water to cover.

2- Boil for 5 minutes.

3- Drain, reserving the liquid, and set aside.

4- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan.

5- Add the onion; cook and stir until soft.

6- Mix in the parsley, wine, tomatoes, garlic and remaining olive oil.

7- Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.

8- While the sauce is simmering, the prawns should become cool enough to handle.

9- First remove the legs by pinching them, and then pull off the shells, leaving the head and tail on.

10- When the sauce has thickened, stir in the prawns.

11- Bring to a simmer again if the sauce has cooled with the prawns, and cook for about 5 minutes.

12- Add the feta and remove from the heat.

13- Let stand until the cheese starts to melt.

14- Serve warm with slices of crusty bread.

15- Though completely untraditional, you can add a few tablespoons of stock or passata to this recipe to make a delicious pasta sauce.

16- Toss with pasta after adding the feta, and serve.
