A LITTLE KITCHEN KNOW-HOW
Skillet-to-Oven Baking
Starting sauce on the stovetop and finishing with seafood and cheese under oven heat cooks ingredients evenly without drying them out.
Notes from the kitchen
- Use an oven-safe cast iron skillet to go straight from stovetop to oven without changing pans.
- Avoid overbaking so the shrimp stay tender and juicy.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Greek; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
