- Then with a knife, open them in the middle until you have a fillet.
- Add salt, black pepper, olive oil, and sauté the shrimps for 2-3 minutes.
- Chop all the vegetables.
- In a pot, add some olive oil and sauté the onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes.
- Then add the peppers. Sauté all the ingredients for 1 more minute.
- Pour in the ouzo and bring it to a boil. Then add the rest of the ingredients, except the parsley.
- Continue to cook the sauce on a low heat for 5 minutes. Then take the pot off the heat and add the parsley.
- In a small food processor or blender, process all the ingredients and blend until smooth.
This culinary creation takes succulent shrimp and marries them with the vibrant, tangy notes of a pepper spread, resulting in a harmonious fusion of textures and tastes. Enjoy!
