If you love shrimp and feta cheese, you’ll love this Mediterranean shrimp recipe! Shrimp Saganaki is a delicious 30-minute meal with shrimp nestled in a vibrant tomato sauce, salty olives, lemon and creamy feta cheese. Mediterranean diet dishes, simple but full of flavour. While this dish is traditionally made in a two-handled pan called a sagani, you don’t need any fancy equipment. I made mine in a regular skillet and it turned out beautifully. That’s the beauty of this recipe – it’s approachable, flexible and absolutely delicious. You’ll love more easy shrimp recipes, shrimp tacos, shrimp grits, and air fryer shrimp.

Food recommendations

  • One of the reasons I love this dish is how versatile it is. Serve it as an appetizer with warm crusty bread or pita bread for dipping.
  • Serve it over orzo as a main course. The little pasta soaked up the sauce really well, turning it into a hearty and satisfying meal. For a healthier option, choose whole-wheat orzo or other whole grains like farro or quinoa.
  • Serving shrimp saganaki over orzo is a common choice, but to boost its Mediterranean flavor, add a can of drained chickpeas and tomatoes to the skillet for more protein and extra fiber.
