No need to visit Greece for your saganaki fix. Make it at home. My prawn saganaki recipe uses fresh prawns, tomatoes and Greek feta. Don’t forget the ouzo!

Prawn Saganaki

250 g prawns (fresh, cleaned deveined and tails left intact)

olive oil

red onion (finely diced)

garlic (finely minced)

red chilli (finely chopped)

pepper (bullhorn variety, finely sliced)

tbsp ouzo

200 g tomatoes (or 2 large tomatoes pureed in a blender)

flat-leaf parsley (finely chopped)

g feta cheese

salt and pepper

Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a large deep frying pan. Once heated through add the onion, garlic and chillis. Allow the mixture to soften and become translucent after a few mins.

Add the prawns and saute gently for a few mins.

Add the ouzo, tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Once it reaches boiling point, turn the temperature down to a medium-low simmer. Cook for 10 mins.

Transfer the prawn saganaki mixture to oven-safe ceramic bowls and crumble the feta on top. Place under a hot grill (broiler) until the feta melts and oozes into the sauce.

In this video, I’m going to show you how to cook the famous Greek dish known as prawn saganaki.

Prawn saganaki is a great summer dish and makes use of prawns (shrimp) cooked in a tomato sauce flavoured with a little ouzo and a variety of herbs.

First I’ll show you how to prepare the sauce for this delicious Greek appetizer.

I’ll start by heating a little olive oil in a pan. To that same pan, I’ll add some onions, garlic, a sliced bullhorn pepper and some chilli.  I’ll then fry the mixture and allow it to soften and become a little translucent.

Next up I’ll add the prawns followed by the ouzo, tomatoes, salt and pepper and parsley.  I’ll show you how to stir everything together and cook it for just under 10 minutes in the pan.

Finally, I’ll transfer the prawn saganaki to a ceramic dish, top it with some crumbled feta and put it under a hot grill (broiler) until the feta melts and becomes soft.

All that’s left to do is serve the prawn saganaki with a glass of ouzo and plenty of fresh bread to mop up the delicious juices.
