Tips:

Use fresh shrimp. Fresh shrimp have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than frozen shrimp. If you're using frozen shrimp, thaw them in cold water before cooking.
Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cook quickly, so it's important to not overcook them. Overcooked shrimp will become tough and rubbery.
Use a variety of herbs and spices. Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to shrimp. Some good choices include garlic, lemon, oregano, thyme, and paprika.
Serve shrimp with a variety of dipping sauces. Dipping sauces can add even more flavor to shrimp. Some good choices include tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, and lemon butter.

Conclusion:

Garides tourkolimano is a delicious and easy-to-make Greek dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce with feta cheese, and they are served with a side of rice or bread. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
