Greek-Spiced Baked Prawns

This Mediterranean-inspired dish of Greek-spiced baked prawns offers a wonderful blend of aromatic warmth and fresh, coastal flavours. The base of the sauce is enriched with cinnamon and allspice, providing a subtle depth that complements the sweetness of the tomatoes and the brine of the feta cheese. It is a vibrant, fragrant meal that brings a taste of the sunshine to your kitchen, whether served as a sophisticated starter or a light main course.

As a high-protein option, this recipe is both nourishing and satisfying without feeling heavy. The prawns are gently poached in the tomato sauce while in the oven, ensuring they remain succulent and tender. For a complete meal, serve this dish with a crusty baguette to mop up the juices, or alongside a bowl of steamed rice and a crisp green salad.
