Description

“Karides Guvec” is a Turkish style shrimp casserole which can be a great hot appetizer or even a delicious main course. In Turkey,we use special clay bowls to cook shrimps with vegetables in the oven. But if you don’t have them,any kind of oven safe baking dish would do the job.

Put olive oil in a large pan. Add yellow onion,red & green pepper and mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes stirring frequently over medium heat. Add diced tomatoes,tomato paste,garlic,chopped parsley and salt & pepper. Cook a few more minutes stirring continuously. Add 1/2 cup hot water and close the lid. Simmer for 7-8 minutes or until you get a chunky sauce.

Transfer the sauce into a baking dish. Add cooked shrimps. Cover the top with grated cheese.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Put the baking dish into the oven. Bake for 10 minutes or until the top turns golden. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Bon Appetit!
