How to Make Greg's Shrimp Saganaki

  1. Peel and devein 1 pound of shrimp. Butterfly the shrimp by cutting them lengthwise almost all the way through.
  2. Set the butterflied shrimp aside.
  3. In a large skillet, sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until softened (about 5 minutes).
  4. Add 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 1/2 cup dry white wine, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Simmer over low heat for 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. (The longer it simmers, the richer the flavor!)
  5. Add the shrimp to the sauce and sauté until they turn pink (about 3-5 minutes).
  6. Stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice and the zest of 1 lemon.
  7. Pour the shrimp and sauce into a greased baking dish (approximately 8x8 inches).
  8. Crumble 4 ounces of feta cheese over the top.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the feta is melted and bubbly.
