Shrimp Saganaki

DESCRIPTION

Shrimp Saganaki is a classic Greek seafood dish that's rich, vibrant, and surprisingly easy to make. Tender shrimp are seasoned with Spicelopedia® Italian Lemon Pepper before simmering in a savory tomato sauce made with sweet onions, garlic, crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and a splash of dry white wine. Finished with creamy crumbled feta, this Mediterranean favorite delivers the perfect balance of bright citrus, savory herbs, and tangy cheese in every bite. Serve it over fluffy rice or tender orzo pasta for a quick weeknight dinner that's packed with fresh, authentic Greek-inspired flavor.
