Prawn Saganaki Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir tomato paste into onion mixture; cook and stir for 1 minute.
• Pour wine into tomato mixture; simmer until liquid is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes. Stir tomato sauce into wine mixture and simmer until mixture is thick, about 10 minutes.
• Spread tomato mixture into the base of a 6-cup baking dish; top with prawns and sprinkle evenly with feta cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until prawns are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center, about 10 minutes; top with parsley.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat, add the garlic, then add the onion and cook until softened, but not brown. Add the shrimp (complete with head and shell for flavor) with the salt, pepper, chili flakes and oregano, to taste. Once simmered, remove the pan from the heat and add the ouzo with caution. Cook for 1 minute and add wine to pan. Simmer another 30 seconds and, using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the pan and put on a plate. When the shrimp are cool enough to handle remove the heads and peel off the shells.
• Add the crushed tomato and the olive paste to the pan and let it simmer for a few minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan, being careful not to overcook and toss in the sauce. Finally sprinkle the crumbled feta over the contents of the pan and melt it into the sauce by pushing it down with the back of a spoon.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400Fº. In a large saucepan over medium, heat oil. Add onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté for 1 minute. Add Roma tomato, tomato paste and black olives; cook, stirring for 1 minute. Add wine and simmer until reduced by half.
• Add pasta tomato sauce, basil, ouzo, black pepper and sea salt; reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes or until thick. About 2 minutes before the end of cooking, stir in sugar.
• In a 8 x 8-inch or 2-quart baking dish, spread tomato mixture. Place prawn and using a spatula, lightly push them down half way of the prawn. Top with feta cheese and transfer to the preheated oven; bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through. Sprinkle parsley and serve with fresh crusty bread.
