📌 Ingredients

1 head garlic (6-8 cloves)
100 ml olive oil

_______
🔪 Preparation
In a small pan put 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then the cherry tomatoes. Turn them a little in the pan to coat in a film of oil, then sprinkle with coarse salt. Place in the oven at 220 degrees for 10-15 minutes, until the tomatoes are cooked, crackle and smell beautifully of ripe tomatoes.
Put 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan. Add shrimp, salt and pepper. Then the white wine. Cook the shrimp for only 20-30 seconds on each side, no more!
In a deep frying pan that will go in the oven, put 3 tablespoons of oil and sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until the onion becomes translucent and softens a little.
Mash the ripe tomatoes with a potato masher and pour them into the pan over the sautéed onions. Also drain the wine sauce from the shrimp pan here. Add the oregano, ground pepper and chilli flakes and let the sauce cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Set the pan aside, place the prawns on top of the tomato sauce, then the crumbled Feta cheese. Place the pan in the oven at 200 degrees for 5-10 minutes, just until the Feta cheese melts.
Serve Saganaki prawns immediately, sprinkled with fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
