- Ready In:
- 35mins
- Ingredients:
- 14
- Serves:
-
4-6
ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large onion, diced
- 4 ounces mixed mushrooms, sliced
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic (2-3 cloves)
- 2 tablespoons ouzo
- 2 tablespoons dry vermouth (or dry white wine)
- 1⁄2 cup chopped parsley
- 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 - 1 1⁄2 lb shrimp, peeled
- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- salt and pepper
directions
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until tender, then add the garlic and cook about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Remove from heat, add the Ouzo and Vermouth, then return to heat and stir, allow some of the liquid to evaporate.
- After liquid has evaporated, add the parsley, tomatoes, tomato sauce, and sugar.
- Simmer the sauce, uncovered, over medium-low heat for approximately 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the shrimp to the sauce and cover the pan. Cook shrimp until they turn pink and opaque white, about 5-10 minutes. (Since these cook quickly, be sure to have your side dishes ready before you add the shrimp.).
- Season to taste with salt and pepper, keeping in mind that the Feta can often be salty.
- Add the Feta either in the pan if you want it to melt a bit, or add to the plates as garnish.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me.
