What’s a tasty greek shrimp dish? I’m looking for something that’s a crowd pleaser for a small get together this weekend.
 
I would toss the shrimp in a ladolemono (Greek oil and lemon dressing) and then either grill them or sauté them. Here's a recipe for the grilled version. https://www.greekboston.com/food/shrimp-kabobs-recipe/

I want to add that you shouldn't marinate it more than an hour because the acid from the lemon will cook the shrimp. One hour is perfect, though.

The best shrimp dish i’ve come across is shrimp youvetsi. It’s shrimp in a red sauce with orzo, I love it! This is a recipe I found on google: https://www.kalofagas.ca/2015/03/21/shrimp-giouvetsi-γαρίδες-γιουβέτσι/

Shrimp saganaki with feta, tomatoes and small Greek chilli peppers is a great appetizer. In my own version I use leftovers (if any) on linguini pasta and fresh parsley on top of it.

I do agree with prawn pasta , orzoto etc. But let’s not forget the absolutely delicious “saganaki”with ouzo , white wine,fresh roasted tomato sauce , star anise, oregano, parsley etc gratin with feta cheese! Absolutely delicious.

What are the most famous Greek cheeses?

I've recently embarked on a culinary quest to explore the rich and diverse world of Greek cheeses. From the tangy feta found in traditional Greek salads to the sizzling delights of halloumi, Greece's cheese culture seems incredibly vast and flavorful. 🇬🇷

I'm reaching out to this knowledgeable community to ask: What are the most famous Greek cheeses that you've tried or heard of?

Are there any particular varieties that are a must-try or any hidden gems that rarely escape the borders of Greece? And if you have any delicious recipes or pairings to share, I'd love to hear about those too!

Traditional Greek soups in Greece?

Most of the Greeks I know are from the United States - so it's been a few generations since a lot of them spent extended time in Greece.

From what I understand, Greek cuisine kind of changes. From what I can tell, in the United States, the most popular soup is Egg and Lemon soup (avgolemono) but in Greece, I don't see to as much or rather, hear of it as much.

What do you think of Gyro variations?

There are some gyro shops near me in the United States and they seem to be putting a different spin on the classic dish. There are some variations. What do you guys think of the variations?

I don't recall seeing these variations in Greece, but I could be wrong. Variations such as - gyros made with different meats, like chicken, those made with Greek meatballs, souvlaki, etc.

And what do you think of putting fries in Gyros? I do see that in Greece.

Best meze to serve at Easter?

What is the best Greek meze to serve for Greek Easter? I want dishes that will wow my guests and make this Easter unforgettable. I’m looking for meze that are both traditional and have that ‘wow’ factor in terms of visual appeal and taste. I’d appreciate if you could share your favorites and perhaps some personal tips or recipes that make them stand out.

Here’s what I’m considering so far, but I’d love your input:
  • Tzatziki - A refreshing yogurt, cucumber, and garlic dip.
  • Spanakopita - Hearty spinach and feta pie encased in flaky pastry.
  • Dolmadakia (Stuffed Grape Leaves) - A tangy and herb-infused delight.
  • Feta cheese. A classic - I sometimes drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano.
  • Olives. No meze spread is complete without olives.
What else should I put out? Or is that enough? We're having about 20 people.
