Season the prawns, then set
aside. Heat a little of of the oil in a frying pan over a
medium heat, and cook the onion for 1-2 mins. Add the
garlic, spring onions & the green pepper and cook for a
couple of minutes more. Add the tomatoes, the sugar and
oregano. Season, cover and cook for 10-15 mins.

Heat a little more of the oil
in a second frying pan, and cook the prawns for a minute,
then flip and cook for another minute. Carefully pour over
the Pernod or ouzo, and continue cooking for a minute or
so until the alcohol has evaporated. Transfer the prawns
to the pan with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle over the
feta, then cover and cook for 5 mins more. Be careful not
to overcook the prawns as they will become tough. Drizzle
with the remaining oil and sprinkle with the parsley to
serve.
