We grilled these skewers and they turned out quite well. Not liking either tarragon or Ouzo, I substituted another Greek herb, oregano. I highly recommend it if you also do not like licorice flavored dishes. We served this over rice the first time and the leftovers in pita bread with tomato, lettuce, onion and vinaigrette.

Succulent, flavourful shrimp with just a hint of licorice.
The shrimp are tossed in a simple marinade of lemon juice, olive oil and garlic with either ouzo or tarragon added for that licorice flavour. The author explains that tarragon isn’t commonly used in Greece but is a good substitute for the ouzo in this dish.
This took just minutes to cook under the broiler and was a big hit. I’ll definitely be making it again, probably with ouzo, which I suspect I’ll be buying soon if I continue to cook from this book: )!
