Spanakorizo With Shrimp
Spanakorizo – a classic Greek dish which is literally translated as spinach-rice. There are subtle variances to the dish, depending on the household and my twist is to top it/marry it with shrimp.
Today it’s shrimp: I like 11-15’s (11-15 shrimp per pound) as they are found at most fish and seafood counters, affordable, flavourful and succulent.
I’ve served this dish as a middle and main course with great feedback. The amount of shrimp you serve is at your discretion. As a convenience, I like using baby spinach, lots of scallions, Greek olive oil, lemon juice and lots of fresh dill.
