A wonderful and delicious dish with a velvety sauce. It's not summer without shrimp saganaki, it's not a mezze without it, and it's not a taverna without shrimp saganaki!
Ingredients:
10 medium-sized cleaned shrimp (keep the tails on a few of them)
100g fresh tomato juice
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
50g ouzo
500g shrimp bisque
200g crumbled feta cheese
50g olive oil
Salt and pepper
Oregano and thyme
Let's start with the bisque process first (photo 1).
In a pan, heat a little olive oil and add the onion and garlic, followed by the shrimp. Saute them lightly. Then, deglaze with ouzo and let it boil for 1 minute with the shrimp in the sauce. Remove the shrimp to a plate and cover them. Add the tomato juice and shrimp bisque to the pan, along with a little oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Continue simmering the sauce for another 5 minutes until it becomes velvety. Add the shrimp back to the pan and simmer for another 2 minutes.
Add the crumbled feta cheese and let it simmer for a final boil.
Serve with some additional crumbled feta on top, a drizzle of olive oil, and sprinkle with fresh oregano and thyme.
