Sizzling Shrimp Santorini Recipes

SHRIMP SANTORINI - BAKED SHRIMP WITH TOMATOES AND FETA CHEESE

Steps:

• Prepare shrimp by putting them into a mixing bowl with 1 tbs. olive oil, salt and pepper. Toss shrimp to coat. Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees. Put 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet and turn on heat to medium. Add onion and a little salt and sweat until translucent. Add garlic and pepper. Stir until soft, a few minutes. Add tomatoes, oregano and red pepper flakes and sauté for 10 minutes. Turn out tomato mixture into a 9 x13 baking dish. Arrange shrimp over tomato mixture in one layer. Crumble cheese over surface. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until shrimp are a medium pinkish color and cheese is a bit browned. Don't overcook the shrimp. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh parsley.

GAMBAS AL PIL-PIL (SIZZLING HOT CHILI SHRIMP)

Steps:

• Place shrimp in bowl; sprinkle with coarse salt and toss. Let stand 15 minutes. Pat dry. Heat oil in medium skillet over high heat. Add garlic, and dried pepper and stir. When garlic browns, discard it and the dried chili. Add shrimp; stir until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer to serving dish with the oil. Sprinkle with paprika and parsley.

SIZZLING SHERRY SHRIMP WITH GARLIC

Steps:

• Heat olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, and paprika in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot and the garlic has turned golden brown, increase heat to high and add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 3 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with sherry or lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve garnished with chopped parsley.

SIZZLING SHRIMPS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to its MAX!
• Put the olive oil in an individual oven proof dish (I use Spanish earthenware but anything capable of taking high temparatures will do).
• Heat the oil in the oven until smoking!
• Throw in all ingredients and stir quickly.
• Serve immediately whilst the dish is still sizzling- the shrimp is ready to eat as soon as it changes from blue to pink.
• Serve with lemon quarters and plenty of good bread to soak up the juices.
• This dish takes little time to prepare and virtually none to cook and has proved a huge success at dinner parties etc.

GREEK SHRIMP DISH FROM SANTORINI

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, chopped parsley, tomatoes, and wine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened.
• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Stir the shrimp into the tomato sauce, and cook for 2 minutes; remove from the heat. Pour the shrimp mixture into a shallow baking dish, and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese. Bake in the preheated oven until the feta has softened and the shrimp are no longer translucent, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Squeeze the lemon halves over the shrimp and garnish with the parsley sprigs to serve.

SIZZLING GARLIC SHRIMP

Steps:

• Divide oil, garlic, red-pepper flakes, and salt evenly among 4 earthenware or ceramic flame-proof crocks.
• One at a time or all at once, heat crocks over high heat until oil sizzles, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Add 12 shrimp to each crock, and cook just until pink, about 2 minutes. Immediately remove crocks from heat, sprinkle shrimp with parsley, and serve them still sizzling.

GARITHES SANTORINI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven at 375°F.
• Heat half the oil in an ovenproof skillet.
• Add the butter and the red pepper.
• Saute the shrimp, in batches if necessary, 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally until the shrimp is pink.
• Stir in the wine and garlic and boil 3-4 minutes.
• When the liquid begins to thicken, stir in the chopped tomatoes and remove from the heat.
• Sprinkle with dill and cheese and cover with breadcrumbs.
• Drizzle remaining olive oil over top and broil 6 inches from heat source 3-4 minutes until bubbly.
