Shrimp Saganaki

Shrimp Saganaki is a delicious Greek appetizer made with a spicy tomato base and feta. 

Ingredients:

4-5 ripe tomatoes, cubed or sliced 

4 peices of garlic, halved

1 cubanelle pepper

1 cup of feta cheese

1 lb of shrimp 

3 tsp of extra virgin olive oil 

3 tbsp of ouzo

1 tsp of oregano 

1 medium yellow onion 

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 420 degrees. Heat oil in a pan that is oven safe. Add the diced and cubanelle pepper. Sautée for 5 minutes and then add in your tomatoes, oregano, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes.
