This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll try it again with half the amount of feta next time.

Just made this for dinner and it was a hit! The sauce is so creamy and flavorful. I used jumbo shrimp and they cooked perfectly. Will definitely be adding this to my regular rotation.

Great recipe! Easy to follow and the results were amazing. The shrimp were succulent and the sauce was flavorful. I added a bit of extra ouzo and it really took the dish to the next level. Highly recommend!

This dish was absolutely delicious! The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the feta, ouzo, and cognac sauce was divine. I served it over rice and it was a huge hit with my family. Will definitely be making this again!
