Andros Island Shrimp Baked in Tomato Sauce W/ Feta

"Garides Saganaki is not a traditional Greek recipe. It was probably created in the early 1960s, as tourists began to flood the Greek islands. It is now a popular starter served in upscale seaside taverns all over the country. Each portion usually comes to the table in its own two-handled pan, right out of the oven. This is the version served on the island of Andros. The sauce is scrumptious, so make sure you provide plenty of fresh crusty bread for dipping. You can stir in cream if desired before placing in the oven. Note: If you leave feta cheese uncovered in the refrigerator overnight, it will dry a bit and can then be easily grated. Recipe adapted from The Foods of the Greek Islands by Aglaia Kremezi."

  1. This recipe was absolutely wonderful! I did all of the cooking in the skillet because it is already hot here in Texas, and it was still great. I didn't have cheese dry enough to grate, so I just let the cubes melt in a little longer and it seems to have worked fine. Thank you for the great recipe :)
     
  2. This dish was great! Very easy to prepare. I served it over spaghetti squash and my fiance love it. He put it in the top five of the usual dinner recipes. That's a big compliment from him! Didn't use the cream and I didn't miss it. It was awesome the way it was.
     
  3. Was looking for an easy dinner party entree with shrimp & this fit the bill!. I added Bay seasoning & used low-fat 1/2 & 1/2 & it was great over angel hair pasta.
     
  4. A KEEPER !! Had about of tail-on shrimp from a frozen ring, used Christmas day, and looked to see how to make a meal. Since the shrimp were already seasoned and cooked, just warmed in the sauce and and baked for 7 minutes. Had no cream, but successfully added about 1/2 cup sour cream. Added the feta to the mix before baking. It was very tasty and DH and I enjoyed it. Have some leftover for lunch. Thanks for posting, NcMysteryShopper.
     
  5. I cannot describe how delicious this shrimp dish is. If you love shrimp and you love feta cheese, you have to try this!
