1 1/2 pound shrimp, 16-20, cleaned
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Ouzo
1/4 cup olive oil
6 each scallions, chopped

2 tablespoons oregano

Sprinkle shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan and quickly saute shrimp for about 2-3 minutes, until pink. Deglaze pan with ouzo and cook dry. Remove shrimp from pan with a slotted spoon and distribute among four ovenproof ramekins or small gratin dishes.
