This wonderful cocktail comes from Santorini, Greece, which some believe was the center of Atlantis.

Ok, you can dream, right? A must try cocktail. Make a larger amount for ladies night. Fun Facts: Santorini is a small, circular cluster of volcanic islands located in the southern Aegean Sea, about 200 km southeast from Greece's mainland. It is also known as Thira, forming the southernmost member of the Cyclades group of islands, with an area of approximately 28 square miles and a 2001 census population of 13,670. Santorini is essentially what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion, destroying the earliest settlements on what was formerly a single island, and leading to the creation of the current geological caldera. Santorini was united with Greece in 1912. Its spectacular physical beauty, along with a dynamic nightlife, have made the island one of Europe's tourist hotspots.

GREEK SHRIMP DISH FROM SANTORINI



Greek Shrimp Dish From Santorini image

An authentic Greek entree that is easy to make and makes you feel like you are in the Greek islands. My sister and I originally ate this dish at a restaurant in Santorini, Greece and went back 3 days in a row to order it again and analyze the ingredients so we could replicate it at home. It is easy to prepare ahead of time and stick in the oven so your cooking is complete before guests arrive! Serve over rice.
