Andros Island Shrimp Baked in Tomato Sauce W/ Feta image

Garides Saganaki is not a traditional Greek recipe. It was probably created in the early 1960s, as tourists began to flood the Greek islands. It is now a popular starter served in upscale seaside taverns all over the country. Each portion usually comes to the table in its own two-handled pan, right out of the oven. This is the version served on the island of Andros. The sauce is scrumptious, so make sure you provide plenty of fresh crusty bread for dipping. You can stir in cream if desired before placing in the oven. Note: If you leave feta cheese uncovered in the refrigerator overnight, it will dry a bit and can then be easily grated. Recipe adapted from The Foods of the Greek Islands by Aglaia Kremezi.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll use less chili flakes next time.

Overall, I thought this recipe was pretty good. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I would have liked it a bit more spicy, but that's just my personal preference.

This recipe was just okay. The shrimp were a bit rubbery and the sauce was a bit too acidic.

I'm giving this recipe 2 stars because the shrimp were cooked well, but the sauce was way too salty. I had to add a lot of water to dilute it.
