  • When selecting tomatoes, look for ones that are fragrant and soft to the touch.
  • When selecting feta cheese, look for one that is brined and aged for a few months for the best flavor.

  • Substitute olive oil with coconut oil for a healthier alternative. Coconut oil is rich in healthy fats and has anti-inflammatory properties that can help protect the heart and blood vessels.
  • Substitute the white wine with vegetable broth for a vegetarian option. Vegetable broth adds an earthy flavor and is a great substitute for those who do not consume alcohol.

Mexican-Style Shrimp With Cotija Cheese Replace the feta cheese with crumbled Cotija cheese. Replace the white wine with tequila. Replace the parsley with cilantro. Replace the tomatoes with a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.
