Using a frying pan, fry the garlic and onion in olive oil until soft, add the cherry tomatoes and cook for 3 – 4 minutes. Douse with the wine and allow it to evaporate. Then add the shrimps and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add the Limoncello and stir. Season with salt and pepper and add the parsley. Remove from the heat and transfer to a baking dish. Crumble the goat’s milk cheese on top and cook under the grill for about 5 minutes.

Boil the potatoes and put them in a bowl. Put the olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend until the garlic is mashed. Then add the parsley leaves and blend gently. Pour the mixture onto the potatoes and mash with a fork.
Serve the Shrimp Saganaki together with the garlic and potato dip.
Bon appétit!
