- Once simmered, remove the pan from the heat and add the ouzo with caution.
- Cook for 1 minute and add wine to pan.
- Simmer another 30 seconds and, using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the pan and put on a plate.
- When the shrimp are cool enough to handle remove the heads and peel off the shells.
- Add the crushed tomato and the olive paste to the pan and let it simmer for a few minutes.
- Return the shrimp to the pan, being careful not to overcook and toss in the sauce.
