Shrimps and Ouzo, what a combination but nevertheless a very common match! Make sure that they are fresh Greek shrimps, marinade them in an ouzo mixture and the bells start ringing!
Doesn’t need much, just a couple of extra ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil and oregano. No worries, three or four (ingredients) are not a crowd!
Serve with a quinoa salad that has edamame beans, sweet corn and sundried tomatoes!????
