Italian Prawn dish

[ajosephine]

I had a king prawn dish (with the shells removed) with feta in an Italian restaurant once and I tried to make it myself. I blended plum tomatos, chillis, onion into a blender and cooked peppers and the large prawns in a pan added the sauce and cut the feta into block which the dish looked the same but I was missing a herb I was wondering if you had any ideas what it could be?

If it was an Italian dish Josephine - could it have been oregano?

Maybe basilic, the italians put it in a lot of dishes sometimes with parsley added too.

Are you sure it was Italian as they don't usually use cheese with seafood-and if they did it is not likely to be feta which is Greek-maybe ricotta?. Another herb would be fresh basil. oops-just saw lafrancaise's answer.

Add parsley and basil. Recip here for a Saganaki dish with prawns - Greek appetizer dish of feta with addition of the prawns - but you don't have to be in Greece to make it....http://www.astray.com/recipes/?show=King%20pra wns%20saganaki%20with%20garlic%20and%20feta

Yup, I'd say nickmo's right...sounds like saganaki to me!
If that's the case, the herbs you're looking for are thyme and a little parsley.
