Greek Food Recipes
Shrimp Santorini
This traditional Greek recipe disregards the notion that seafood and cheese don’t mix, and it works beautifully, resulting in a harmonious balance of flavors. Though it can be made year round with canned tomatoes, it is sensational with fresh sweet ripe ones, so best prepared in summer. Serve it as a main course with rice or potatoes, or in small portions as an appetizer, taverna-style dinner idea.
Ingredients:
- 1 Onion, chopped
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 lb. Tomatoes***
- 1 lb. Shrimp, cleaned, peeled and deveined
- 6 oz. Feta cheese
- ½ tsp. Red pepper flakes, crushed
- ½ tsp. Oregano, dried
- 3 tbs. Parsley, chopped
- Extra virgin olive oil
