Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the red onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Peel and devein the shrimp.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish before serving.
- 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.
