   Shell prawns, leaving last segment of shell and the
   tail intact.  De-vein and rinse.  Drain and dry with
   paper towels and refrigerate until required. In a pan
   gently fry onion in oil until transparent, add spring
   onion and garlic and cook 2 minutes longer.  Add
   tomatoes, wine, most of the parsley, rigani and salt
   and pepper to taste.  Cover and simmer gently for 30
   minutes until thick. Spoon half of the tomato sauce
   into 6 individual oven dishes or 1 large oven dish.
   Add prawns and spoon remaining sauce over them.
   Coarsely crumble feta cheese and sprinkle on top. Cook
   in a very hot oven for 10-12 minutes until prawns are
   pink and the feta melted and lightly browned.
   Sprinkle with remaining parsley and serve immediately
   as a first course with crusty bread.
