Ahoy there, seafood lovers! Today I'm sharing with you my take on the classic Garides Saganaki recipe. Trust me, you're in for a treat with this one. So, get your Raw king prawns ready, along with Olive oil, Chopped onion, Freshly chopped parsley, White wine, Chopped tomatoes, Minced garlic, and Cubed Feta cheese. Let's get cooking! First off, a little tip from me: don't throw away that prawn water after boiling them. It's liquid gold full of flavor, so keep it for later. Now, an anecdote for you all: one time, I accidentally mistook sugar for salt in a seafood dish. Let's just say it was a meal I'll never forget! As you simmer the sauce, here's a unique tip: add a pinch of cinnamon for an extra depth of flavor. It's a game-changer, I promise. Once everything is ready, don't forget to remove the prawn legs with a pinch and peel off the shells. It can get messy, but hey, that's all part of the fun! Now, sit back, relax, and savor the deliciousness of Garides Saganaki. Enjoy, my friends!

Directions

1
Place the prawns in a pot and add enough water to cover. Boil for 5 minutes. Drain, reserving the liquid, and set aside.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a saucepan. Add the onion; cook and stir until soft. Mix in the parsley, wine, tomatoes, garlic and remaining olive oil. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened.
3
While the sauce is simmering, the prawns should become cool enough to handle. First remove the legs by pinching them, and then pull off the shells, leaving the head and tail on.
4
When the sauce has thickened, stir in the prawns. Bring to a simmer again if the sauce has cooled with the prawns, and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the feta and remove from the heat. Let stand until the cheese starts to melt. Serve warm with slices of crusty bread.
5
Though completely untraditional, you can add a few tablespoons of stock or passata to this recipe to make a delicious pasta sauce. Toss with pasta after adding the feta, and serve.
