Happy weekend guys! Recipe of the day is Shrimp Saganaki Style – succulent jumbo shrimp in sweet and tangy tomato sauce, topped with melted feta cheese crumbs. 😋
This is my version of Shrimp Saganaki, inspire by the original recipe. The main difference you could probably notice is the ouzo is missing. Not on purpose though, I simply didn’t have any at home. 😄
Also, I’d have added some fresh chopped chillies at the end (like a lot 🤫 ) but decided against it as the kids had some of it too.
The recipe is super simple and just perfect to use the super ripe and sweet Summer tomatoes which I did. Not from my garden, though, but lucky I could enjoy some freshly picked from my parents’ garden when visiting them. 😊
What you need:
- jumbo shrimp
- tomatoes
- lovage
- onion
- garlic
- olive oil
- feta cheese
- salt and pepper
- sugar
Here’s how to make the delicious Shrimp Saganaki Style
Ingredients:
- 4 large ripe tomatoes, diced

Preparation:
- Heat a pan with the olive oil and sweat the onion and garlic for five minutes. Add the tomatoes, stir in the sugar and leave to simmer for 15 minutes.
