HERBY SHRIMP-AND-FETA BAKE
This shrimp bake gets the "low and slow" treatment in the oven, resulting in tender, perfectly cooked crustaceans without a hint of toughness. A saffron marinade and chopped fresh herbs up the elegance (and the flavor). Round it all out with creamy feta, and you have a sublime appetizer to serve with crusty bread.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Using a mortar and pestle, grind together lemon zest, 3/4 teaspoon salt, saffron, and sugar. Add lemon juice and let stand 5 minutes. Add garlic; mash to a paste. Mash in herbs, then 2 tablespoons oil.
- In a bowl, toss shrimp with herb mixture; let stand 15 minutes. Arrange shrimp and feta in a shallow ovenproof dish just large enough to hold them snugly. Pour remaining 1/2 cup oil over top. Bake, spooning oil over shrimp occasionally, until shrimp are pink and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve with more parsley and bread.
