Shrimp Saganaki (Greek recipe: Prawn in Tomato sauce and feta)
This is a Greek dish with an appetizer that works really well as an appetizer for 4 with a little crispy bread. You can divide this into plates, but it's also nice (and more common in Greece) to pull the dish on the table and leave everyone to serve themselves. Saganaki dishes are named after a small shallow pan used to fry or stew small portions of food, such as cheese or shellfish.
Transport to Greece with every bite of this shrimp saganak recipe. Shrimp are prepared in a rich tomato sauce, garnished with creamy feta and olive oil, flavored with garlic and fresh basil leaves
Shrimp Saganaki: Shrimp in a Greek Tomato & Feta Sauce
Print this recipe here:
Ingredients
1 pound jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined (leave the tail on)
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 of a medium onion, finely shopped
15-16 ounces pureed tomatoes
3-4 garlic cloves, grated
4-6 scallions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sugar
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 handful of chopped fresh parsley
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
lemons for garnish
Instructions
Season the shrimp on both sides lightly with salt and black pepper.
Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp in a few batches for 30-40 seconds per side. Do not overcrowd the pan or the shrimp will steam instead of sear.
Lower the heat to a low- medium and cook the onions about 5-7 minutes or until slightly golden, translucent and soft. Add garlic and warm through for a few seconds.
Add tomatoes, sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, black pepper and a little salt. Remember, that the feta is salty, so do not put too much salt in the sauce.
I like using canned tomatoes. I puree them in my blender to speed up the cooking time. If you are using crushed canned tomatoes, skip the pureeing step.
Cover the pan with the lid and cook the sauce until it reduces and thickens. About 6-7 minutes. Add the scallions, shrimp and crumbled feta.
Transfer the pan (if it is oven proof) under the broiler and cook about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts, the sauce is bubbly and slightly charred.
Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges.
Serve with crusty, toasted bread or over pasta.
Enjoy and Kali Orexi!

*RECIPE* (3-4 servings)
INGREDIENTS
1 lb/450g shrimp (peeled and deveined)
3 tbsp tomato paste OR 1/2 cup tomato purée
3 garlic cloves
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp paprika (sweet preferred)
1 tsp chilli flakes (divided)
1 tbsp neutral oil
Parsley/cilantro
Salt as needed
METHOD:
1. Marinate 1 lb/450g shrimp in 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp chilli flakes, 1/4 tsp salt and set aside for 15 minutes. Skip salt if using salted butter
2. Mince 3 cloves of garlic. Finely chop parsley/cilantro/coriander for garnish
3. Set aside 3 tbsp tomato paste or 1/2 cup tomato purée. Tomato paste cooks fast and is the preferred option. Tomato purée can also be used but needs to be cooked down properly
4. Heat 1 tsp oil and 1 tbsp butter in a pan. The oil prevents butter from burning
5. Set flame to medium and sear shrimp for 1 minute per side. Don't overcrowd the pan or they won't sear well. Cook in batches and set aside
6. Set flame to low, add 2 tbsp butter, minced garlic, tomato paste (or purée) & 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
7. Add a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter. Cook gently until the tomato paste turns deep red and aromatic. If using tomato purée, cook until the oil separates
8. Add the seared shrimp and its juices. Stir and cook until its done (2-4 mins depending on the size)
9. Switch off the flame. Garnish with parsley or cilantro/coriander leaves
10. Serve with bread or a light salad
