This spicy tomato sauce, salty feta cheese and succulent shrimp combo is so good! The recipe calls for Ouzo, which is a Greek anise flavored liqueur. Although you do not taste the ouzo in the final product, unless you use a lot of it, it adds that something to the dish that just makes it better.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp saganaki turned out terrible. The shrimp were rubbery and the sauce was watery.

This recipe was a disaster. The shrimp were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

The shrimp saganaki was a bit too spicy for my taste, but other than that it was a great dish. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful.

This dish is a must-try for any seafood lover. The shrimp are cooked to perfection, and the sauce is flavorful and rich. I served it with some crusty bread to soak up all the delicious sauce.
