Instructions

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.

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.
