    This was tasty. I have to point out that the ginger and jalapeno are not listed in the recipe, but only in the ingredients details. That might confuse some people. Also, I used no salt at all. It isn't needed with the Feta cheese and the shrimp's natural saltiness. - 5/24/09

    You are completely correct. I spaced out and forgot to list them in the ingredients although I included them in the directions. Mainly because they are optional although HIGHLY recommended.

    Edit - I have added them :)

    I loved this! I had to do some replacements - canned chopped chili for jalepeno and parmesan cheese instead of feta. But it was really, really good - I would make it again! - 5/11/10
