Prawn Saganaki
Inspired by the classic Greek dish, our Prawn Saganaki recipe provides a taste of the Mediterranean, right in your kitchen. Succulent king prawns are cooked in a rich tomato and chilli sauce, topped with creamy crumbled feta and then baked in the oven until golden and bubbling. Traditionally, Prawn Saganaki is enjoyed as a shared starter, served with crusty bread for dipping. Put this in the middle of the table and dig in! Although not authentic, we have also found that this dish is delicious served on top of pasta or rice.
This recipe uses Mellow Yellow Chilli Oil, with just the right amount of chilli flakes infused into our cold pressed rapeseed oil, this chilli oil is just the thing to pep up pizzas and pasta, spice up a salad or salsa or give gusto to meat and fish. Simply click here to find your nearest stockist.
