    Greek Tomato Sauce

    1. In a small saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.

    3. Add crushed tomatoes, water, and sugar. Bring to a simmer.
    4. Allow to simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Shrimp

    1. Start cooking shrimp 15 minutes before you're ready to eat!
    2. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil over medium high heat. 
    3. Add the shrimp in a single layer, evenly spaced, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Do not move shrimp until they are ready to flip.
    4. Flip shrimp with tongs and cook an additional 2-3 minutes. 
    5. Remove shrimp to a small plate and keep warm.
    6. Away from open flames, add the ouzo and allow to reduce by half. You may ignite the Ouzo if you feel comfortable with the procedure. 
    7. Add the tomato sauce, basil, and banana peppers.
    8. Bring to a quick simmer. 
    9. Add the shrimp back to the sauce and mix in feta cheese.
    10. Serve over Toasted Ciabatta Slices with a drizzle of EVOO.
