Shrimp Saganaki

Shrimp Saganaki

"I too, used to think Saganaki was just the flaming cheese you can get at restaurants. But a little research and I learned that Saganaki is a term for a variety of dishes cooked in a frying pan. Although the flaming cheese is the most popular appetizer, Shrimp Saganaki and Mussels Saganaki are two fairly common recipes as well, made with tomato sauce and feta. This Shrimp Saganaki is a combination of bell pepper, onion, garlic and campari tomatoes simmered together in a white wine sauce. Feta and shrimp get added toward the end of cooking to give a restaurant worthy meal. This recipe is super simple, but feels so sophisticated. It comes together in just one pot, and in under 30 minutes you’ve got an amazingly flavorful dish. Although traditionally served in Greece as an appetizer, I find serving with rice or orzo and grilled veggies makes for an amazing meal."
