Adriatica Prawns Skiathos Recipe

A taste of the Greek islands! This vibrant prawn recipe, originally from the late Adriatica restaurant, is bursting with fresh Mediterranean flavors. We've tweaked it slightly, reducing the feta for a lighter yet equally delicious dish. Enjoy succulent prawns cooked in a rich tomato, wine, and garlic sauce, served over perfectly al dente pasta. A simple yet elegant meal perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
