Windows on the World Broiled Shrimp with Feta Cheese

One of the many losses to New York City and the world on 9-11 was a great restaurant called Windows of the World on the 107th floor of number one World Trade Center. At lunch time it was a club not open to the public for business and primarily financial execs like myself. One of my favorite dishes (opinion shared by many) was a broiled shrimp dish with black olives and feta cheese (faux Greek) which could be ordered as a starter or a main course. With the loss of the restaurant I experimented to recreate this easy to make dish. Other spices and herbs could be added but its just fine as described below.

Ready

• 1 Lb large pealed shrimp
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• ½ cup chopped yellow onion
• ⅔ cup crumbled feta cheese
• ½ cup small black greek olives, pitted and cut in half
• 1 Roma tomato
• ½ lime
• Salt and pepper to taste

Set

• Use a shallow baking dish large enough to place shrimp in one layer
• Frying pan

2. Place shrimp in dish.
3. In a frying pan, saute onion until translucent. Sprinkle over shrimp when ready.
