Ουζο γαρίδες | Meze (Serves 6-8)
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:
In a large bowl, mix salt, pepper, and flour well.
Lightly coat your shrimp in seasoned flour
Cover the bottom of a large frying pan with GEVOO
Add shrimp and garlic to the oil and sauté a few minutes until golden.
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).
Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer shrimps to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot
