Ingredients

Scale

1/2 red onion

4 Tbsps. olive oil

4-5 garlic cloves, diced

1-2 red chilis, diced

sprinkle of red chili flakes (optional)

1 Tbsp fresh ginger, diced

3 Tbsps. tomato paste

1 14-0unce can of diced tomatoes

2 tsps. oregano

3 Tbsps. Ouzo or white wine (add more, if desired)

several tsps. fresh lemon juice

1 cup unsalted chicken stock or water (as required)

Instructions

Slice the red onion in half, then slice into thin strips. Dice the garlic cloves and ginger, then cut the chilis into small pieces. Over medium-high heat, add olive oil to a fry pan and cook the red onion, garlic, ginger and chilis until soft (5-10 minutes). Reduce heat slightly and add the tomato paste and can of tomatoes. Stir and add the ouzo, oregano, and lemon juice. Let cook for 1 5 minutes until the flavors infuse. If the sauce becomes dry, add some chicken stock or water to re-hydrate as needed.

Add the raw prawns, cover the pan with a lid and let cook until the prawns turn pink (do not overcook). While the prawns are cooking, pre-heat the oven broiler to 500 F. Sprinkle some crumbled pieces of feta cheese on top and place the pan on the top shelf of the oven. Broil for 3-6 minutes until the feta cheese melts. Serve with chopped parsley on top and several lemon slices.
