Shrimp with Tomatoes and Feta

(2 Servings, may be doubled or tripled)

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 cup diced eggplant (see Note)
1/4 cup diced yellow pepper (see Note)
1/4 cup sliced scallions (see Note)
2 cloves garlic (I use 2 very large or 3 normal cloves)
8 small plum tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced (canned is ok)
2 Tablespoons white wine (see Note)
2 Tablespoons water
1 Tablespoon lemon peel
1 Tablespoon chopped parsley (it's hard to have too much)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
9 oz shelled, deveined shrimp (approx 2/3 lb with shells.) (See Note)
1 oz Feta cheese (see note)

Note on ingredients:
1.  I usually double the eggplant, pepper and scallions.  If I'm
doubling the recipe to serve 4 I fill my 4 cup glass measuring cup to
overflowing with eggplant, use a whole large yellow pepper, and a bunch
of scallions.

2.  I don't measure parsley or lemon peel.  For 4 people, I use 1/3 a
bunch of parsley and a lemon's worth of peel.

3.  If you don't want to use wine, you can use the same amount of
lemon juice.  I always use wine.

4.  The recipe originally called for large shrimp.  I use medium.  I
think it works better.

5.  I usually use 2-3 oz of feta for a 2 person amount.  (The exact
amount depends on how many protein exchanges I have left for dinner.)

In a 12 inch non-stick skillet, heat oil, add eggplant and cook, stirring
frequently, until browned on all sides. (the recipe says about 2
minutes.  It's really about 5.)  Add yellow pepper, scallions and
garlic and saute until vegetables are softened, about a minute.  Add
remaining ingredients except shrimp and cheese..  Reduce heat to medium
and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes.  Add shrimp and saute
until shrimp turn pink.  Add crumbled cheese, heat through, and serve.

I usually reverse the last 2 steps, since I don't mind the cheese
melting completely, but I really mind the shrimp overcooking.

I serve this over rice, usually a 1/3-2/3 wild rice/white rice combination.
