Tips:

  • Use fresh, large shrimp. This will ensure that your shrimp is succulent and flavorful.
  • Clean the shrimp thoroughly. This will remove any grit or sand that may be present.
  • Marinate the shrimp for at least 30 minutes. This will help the shrimp to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Cook the shrimp over high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the outside of the shrimp while keeping the inside tender.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. Shrimp is best served hot, so serve it as soon as it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Sizzling Shrimp Santorini is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The shrimp is succulent and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and creamy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
