Thessaloniki-Style Shrimp

Thessaloniki is a port city on the Mediterranean and is the second-largest city in Greece after Athens. The cuisine of Thessaloniki is rich in seafood thanks to the city’s proximity to the ocean. This dish, often called Saloniki shrimp, is unique because of the long cooking time. Usually, shrimp is cooked for only a short period of time because prolonged exposure to heat can make the shrimp tough. In this dish, the high acid content from the tomatoes and feta cheese maintains the delicate taste and texture of the shrimp while cooking. We hope this dish will transport you to the coast of Greece without having to leave your home!
