Preheat the oven to 200C/ 180C
Fan/ Gas 6. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 10-or
12-inch heavy ovenproof frying pan over medium-low heat.
Add the fennel and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes, until the
fennel is tender. Add the wine and bring to a boil,
scraping up any browned bits. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes,
until the liquid is reduced by half. Add the tomatoes with
the liquid, tomato paste, oregano, Pernod, salt, and
pepper to the frying pan. Simmer over medium-low heat,
stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes.

Arrange the shrimp, tails up,
in one layer over the tomato-mixture in the frying pan.
Scatter the feta evenly over the shrimp. In a small bowl,
combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, and lemon zest with the
remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle over the
shrimp. Bake for 15 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked
and the breadcrumbs are golden brown. Squeeze the juice of
1 lemon over the shrimp. Serve hot with the remaining
lemon cut into wedges.
