Quick and Easy Shrimp Saganaki
Prep Time - 30 minutes | Time To Make - 30 minutes
In honor of National Chardonnay Day, we are thrilled to share an easy, healthy, weeknight recipe from Nedi of Healthy with Nedi. This delicious dinner pairs well with our Morning Fog Chardonnay or our Riva Ranch Chardonnay. Shrimp Saganaki is a classic Greek dish commonly made with cheese, shrimp, or mussels. The spices and creaminess of the dish pair well with the acidity and fruit flavors of our Chardonnays.
It is easy to make, ready in under 30 minutes but is sure to impress the company. Nedi uses a cast iron pan for this recipe, but any frying pan that fits all the ingredients will work. Serve it with toasted pita bread, a greek salad, and a chilled glass of Wente Vineyards Chardonnay.
Cheers to Chardonnay Day!
