Prawn Saganaki is a Greek dish featuring prawns cooked in a rich tomato sauce with feta cheese, herbs, and a splash of ouzo or white wine. It’s a perfect blend of Mediterranean flavors, ideal as an appetizer or main course.

Ingredients

  1. 1 lb large prawns, peeled and deveined
  2. 2 tbsp olive oil
  3. 1 medium onion, chopped
  4. 3 cloves garlic, minced
  5. 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
  6. 1/2 cup dry white wine or ouzo (optional)
  7. 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  8. 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional)
  9. Salt and pepper to taste
  10. 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  11. 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  12. Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Prawns: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or shallow pan over medium heat. Add the prawns and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink. Remove and set aside.

  1. Make the Sauce: In the same pan, heat the remaining olive oil, add chopped onion and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Add crushed tomatoes, white wine or ouzo, oregano, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Add Prawns and Feta: Return prawns to the pan and crumble feta cheese over the top. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the prawns are fully coated with sauce and the feta melts.
  3. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy with crusty bread or rice.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, replace wine with vegetable broth or extra tomato sauce.
  • If you like spicier dishes, increase the chili flakes or add fresh chili.
  • Rice or crusty bread works great with this dish to soak up the sauce.
