Easy Shrimp Saganaki

MaddiLK

20 large raw shrimp (peeled)

4 large very ripe tomatoes, finely chopped

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 onion, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

80 g feta cheese

2 tablespoons green olives, finely chopped

5 anchovy fillets (marinated in oil), finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)

3 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for drizzling)

5 tablespoons white wine

Sea salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

In a medium size skillet/heavy duty pan heat up 3 tablespoons of oil, add the garlic and onion and fry over a medium/low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often. Add the wine and continue frying for 2 to 3 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, olives, anchovies, stir and cook over a medium heat for 20 minutes until the mixture has thickened, stirring often.

Remove from the heat, stir in the shrimp and 2 quarters of the feta, crumble the remaining feta over the top, drizzle with a little oil and slide under a grill, if you've got one, for about 5 minutes (alternatively don't remove the pan from the heat, stir in the feta, shrimp and cook for 3 minutes - ensure the shrimp is pink before serving)

Season with pepper and some salt (if needed), sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and serve with fresh crusty bread.
