The Best Greek Feta Shrimp

Feta and Shrimp is one delicious food pairing. Add some roasted garlic and tomatoes and make the best greek feat shrimp dish also known as Shrimp Saganaki.

Nibble on one of these juicy shrimp and bask in the glorious flavor of Greece. Warm tomato, sea salted shrimp, sharp tangy feta. You can smell the salty sea breeze blowing softly across your face. Relax in the warm Greek sun next to the vacillating swell of the waves as the tomatoes burst in your mouth.

Try using fresh tender shrimp, tangy, sharp feta, sweet cherry tomatoes and a hint of anis to make this dish a mouth watering delicacy. Better known as Shrimp Saganaki, this meal is usually served in a special pan called a saganaki. Or use a nice cast iron pan like this one.

When My husband lived in Greece he would eat this right on the ocean served to him by the friendly greek Ya-Ya’s who took great care of him (and made sure he ate well). When we got married he asked me to try and recreate this dish and after some trial and error we hit upon this Greek Farm Fresh meal.

Imagine eating this on a greek patio overlooking a cerulean sea. Enjoy every bite of your at home vacation with this dish.

Always use the freshest ingredients especially when using seafood and farm produce which this recipe has in abundance. This is a great recipe to make in the middle of summer. When your own cherry tomatoes are loaded on the vine try this unique dish.
