Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1 red onion
160g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp tomato puree
30g
1/2 cup white wine
120g
1 can canned tomatoes
400g
12 oz shrimps
340g
1/3 cup feta cheese
72g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients:
- Finely chop the red onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Peel and devein the shrimp.
2. Cook the Onion and Garlic:
- Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Spray a short burst of cooking spray oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the finely chopped red onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and starts to soften.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until it releases its aroma.
3. Add Tomato Puree and Wine:
- Stir in the tomato puree and cook for about 2 minutes.
- Pour in the white wine. Stir well and let it simmer for about 3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
4. Incorporate Tomatoes:
- Add the canned tomatoes (crushed or whole with their juices) to the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
5. Cook the Shrimp:
- Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
6. Add Feta Cheese:
- Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the shrimp and tomato mixture.
- Allow the feta to warm through and soften for about 3 minutes without stirring too much.
7. Finish with Fresh Parsley:
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
8. Serve:
- Serve the Shrimp Saganaki hot, preferably with crusty bread or over rice to soak up the delicious sauce.

Tips:

- Ensure your shrimp are cleaned and deveined before cooking for optimal texture and flavor.

- Do not overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough and chewy; cook them just until they turn pink.

- Use high-quality canned tomatoes to enhance the richness of the sauce.

- Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic and parsley to suit your taste preferences.

- For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of lemon juice before serving.

- Serve Shrimp Saganaki with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce or over a bed of rice or pasta.
