Greek-style Shrimp Saganaki
Shrimp Saganaki is an authentic Greek dish with a savory Tomato sauce, lots of crumbled Feta, and melt in the mouth shrimp. It is so easy and quick to put together. Serve it with any crusty bread. I use Ciabatta or the normal brötchen from the supermarket. I serve this to my children with rice.
