mediterranean shrimp

This is a recipe that I found in Chef Michael Symons cookbook 5 in 5, but changed it up a bit. The idea was all his and I will not take credit for someone else's creation. What I did to this to change it more to my taste was the addition of lemon, garlic, and the red onion. I could not get over how good this tasted. It may also seem like a lot of wine in a foil pack, but it works. I served with some fresh sourdough bread to sop up the sauce. I also did not add the additional salt or pepper as I felt the feta was salty enough.
