Grilled Shrimp with Feta, Cilantro and Lime

I found this fantastic sounding recipe on epicurious.com with all ingredients that I had on hand. I changed it up a little based on the reviews and my personal taste. First, I doubled the recipe, witht the exception of the olive oil (8tbsp. instead of 12.) I also added 1 large chopped tomato - who could resist adding a beautiful NJ tomato at this time of year? I also added 1/4 tsp, crushed red pepper flakes- I always love a touch of heat. I cooked everything on a grill pan and combined with orzo. This was easy and fantastic! Mediterranean - Mexican fusion? Well it works - Enjoy!
