Shrimp Saganaki

A Greek dish of king prawns in a delicate tomato sauce with white wine and melted feta cheese. Aromatic, hearty, and incredibly delicious — perfect served with crusty bread.

Ingredients

• 500 g King prawns (raw)
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 pcs Onion
• 1 pinch Fresh parsley
• 250 ml White wine
• 1 pcs Canned tomatoes
• 0.5 tsp Garlic
• 200 g Feta cheese

Instructions

1. Place the prawns in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Drain the water into a separate bowl (you will need it), and set the prawns aside to cool.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan, add the diced onion and cook, stirring, until softened (approximately 3–4 minutes). Add the parsley, white wine, canned tomatoes, garlic, and the remaining olive oil.
3. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes until it thickens and develops a rich flavor.
4. While the sauce is cooking, clean the cooled prawns: use tongs to remove the legs, then carefully peel away the shell, leaving the head and tail intact.
5. When the sauce has thickened, add the prawns to it. If the sauce has cooled, bring it back to a boil and cook the prawns for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, generously add cubes of feta cheese and let it melt slightly (approximately 2–3 minutes). Serve warm with slices of crusty bread.
