Shrimp Saganaki

Shrimp Saganaki with sauteed Kale flowers

Garides (Shrimp) Saganaki is one of Audrey's favorite dishes (though no longer on the menu) at Zaytinya, one of her favorite restaurants in DC. This recipe is a surprisingly easy replica of that dish. It's fast and can be made mostly with ingredients we already have in our kitchen.

Serves 2.

1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

per ½lb of shrimp:

* 1 medium onion (any color), chopped
* 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
* 1 (14oz) can crushed tomatoes
* 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
* Parsley, Rosemary, and Thyme (fresh or dried, to taste)
* Salt and Pepper

Kaseri cheese, sliced thin (can substitute your favorite mild melting cheese, like mozzarella or provolone)

Preheat oven to 400F.

In an oven-safe skillet, make tomato sauce with first 8 ingredients:

- Sautee onions and garlic
- Add tomatoes and balsamic vinegar
- Add spices
- Simmer until most of liquid is gone

Add shrimp to tomato sauce. Cook until shrimp is no longer translucent (1-2 mins at most).

Cover with slices of cheese and bake in oven until shrimp are fully cooked and cheese is melted (5-10 minutes).

Serve and enjoy!
