Shrimp Saganaki (Greek Shrimp) image

This spicy tomato sauce, salty feta cheese and succulent shrimp combo is so good! The recipe calls for Ouzo, which is a Greek anise flavored liqueur. Although you do not taste the ouzo in the final product, unless you use a lot of it, it adds that something to the dish that just makes it better.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would recommend using less chili flakes next time.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was so good that I could have eaten it by itself. I will definitely be making this again.
