[Keith_]

Garides Fournou Me Avgolemono is a Greek baked shrimp dish where shrimp are smothered in a velvety egg-lemon (avgolemono) sauce, creating a tangy and creamy flavor explosion.


Ingredients:

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 2 cups seafood or chicken broth
• 2 eggs
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the white wine and simmer for 2 minutes, then pour in the broth and bring to a simmer. Let cook for 10 minutes.
4. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon juice. Gradually add hot broth to the egg-lemon mixture, stirring constantly to temper the eggs.
5. Pour the tempered egg-lemon sauce back into the skillet, stirring gently until the sauce thickens.
6. Arrange the shrimp in a baking dish and pour the avgolemono sauce over them. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the shrimp are fully cooked.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with bread or rice.

This dish combines the creamy richness of avgolemono with the sweetness of shrimp, making for a truly indulgent meal!
