👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a saganaki pan or small oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Add the prawns to the simmering sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to turn pink. Optionally, add ouzo and carefully ignite it (flambé) for a dramatic effect and extra flavor; let the flames die down.
4. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the prawns and sauce. You can either cover and simmer for a couple more minutes, or place the skillet under a hot broiler for 3-5 minutes until the feta is bubbly and lightly browned.
5. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately with crusty bread for dipping.
