Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality shrimp. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to cook it just until it's pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is a key ingredient in Greek cuisine, and it adds a lot of flavor to this dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with the herbs and spices. The recipe calls for oregano, thyme, and bay leaves, but you can also add other herbs and spices that you like, such as rosemary, basil, or paprika.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately. This dish is best served hot, so don't let it sit around for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

Garides tourkolimano is a delicious and easy-to-make Greek shrimp dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The shrimp are cooked in a flavorful tomato sauce with herbs and spices, and they are served with crusty bread or rice. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
