Greek-style Garlicky Shrimp with Feta

Two words: MAKE. THIS.
It's incredibly flavorful and saucy, so it's delicious served with warm crusty bread. Or serve with a simple salad on the side. Or put on little toasts and have a great appetizer. It doesn't matter to me. Just make it.

From Panning the Globe

Ingredients:
~3 lbs. peeled and deveined shrimp (you can leave tails on, but we took them off for easier eating)
~4 tbs. unsalted butter
~8 garlic cloves, finely minced
~6 tbs. lemon juice
~1 tbs. chili powder
~1 tsp. salt
~10 oz. crumbled feta cheese
~olive oil
~crusty bread slices for serving

1. Chop butter into pieces and scatter around the bottom of heavy pot or dutch oven.
2. Scatter half the shrimp over the butter.
3. Sprinkle half the garlic, half the parsley, half the chili powder, and half the salt over the shrimp. Drizzle 2 tbs olive oil over the top.
4. Arrange the rest of the shrimp on top and sprinkle on the remaining garlic, parsley, chili powder, and salt.
5. Drizzle 2 more tbs olive oil on top and cover.
6. Heat pan to medium-high and cook for 8 minutes or until shrimp have lost their raw color.
7. Pour in lemon juice and scatter the feta cheese on top.
8. Baste shrimp with a few spoons of sauce from the bottom of the pot and gently jiggle pot to distribute sauce.
9. Lower heat to medium-low, cover, and cook another 8 minutes or until the feta is just melted.
10. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
