Ouzo Shrimp

I like ouzo. I like shrimp. Together they are fire. Truth be told, this is a hardly a recipe but more the idea of keeping it simple and not overcooking the shrimp.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 pound shrimp cleaned ( I like to leave the head and tail on)

  • half a cup flour (gluten free if you fancy)

  • 1/3 cup GEVOO

  • 3 garlic cloves, halved

  • 1/4 a cup ouzo

  • Salt and pepper


METHOD:

  1. In a large bowl, mix salt, pepper, and flour well.

  2. Lightly coat your shrimp in seasoned flour

  3. Cover the bottom of a large frying pan with GEVOO

  4. Add shrimp and garlic to the oil and sauté a few minutes until golden.

  5. Carefully add ouzo to shrimp ( Alcohol is very flammable so make sure to lower the heat or pull off pan completely to prevent a flare up).

  6. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer shrimps to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

  7. Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot
