My other passion....

I have many interests.

One of them being international foods.

Especially, Greek food.

I love to try new an interesting dishes.

I love to travel if it means I get to try

the local cuisine.

Here is a very simple Greek dish but

full of flavor:

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

4 scallions (thinly sliced)

3 large garlic cloves (thinly sliced)

6 large anchovy fillets(finely chopped)

30 Greek olives(pitted, chopped)

2 lbs shrimp(shelled, deveined)

1/4 cup white wine

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter

1Tablespoon lemon juice

Salt, pepper to taste

Orzo (already cooked )

1/2 cup toasted almonds

Step 1:

Heat olive oil in skillet,

Add scallions and garlic cook until

softened (3 min)

Add anchovies and mash them with

a fork(2 min)

Add olives, shrimp, stirring once

or twice( 2 min)

Add the wine and simmer

continue stirring(2min)

Step 2:

Remove skillet from heat.

Stir in the butter and lemon juice.

Add salt and pepper.

Step 3:

Serve shrimp over orzo

and sprinkle with toasted almonds.
Serves 4

(One thing you have to get used to is

using anchovy fillets. It is used widely

in Italian, Greek and unique European dishes.

You wouldnt notice the taste of it, unless you

were told that it was in there. It is more

the mental thought of eating them than anything)
