Ingredients

  • 250 g Prawns fresh, cleaned deveined and tails left intact
  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 pepper bullhorn variety, finely sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a large deep frying pan. Once heated through add the onion, garlic and chillis. Allow the mixture to soften and become translucent after a few mins.
  2. Add the prawns and saute gently for a few mins.
  3. Add the ouzo, tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper and allow the mixture to come to a boil. Once it reaches boiling point, turn the temperature down to a medium-low simmer. Cook for 10 mins.
  4. Transfer the prawn saganaki mixture to oven-safe ceramic bowls and crumble the feta on top. Place under a hot grill (broiler) until the feta melts and oozes into the sauce.

Notes

  • If you don’t have oven-safe ceramic bowls, you can use the same frying pan…just make sure it’s safe to use in the oven!!
