While the name suggests Greek origin, 'Camarão à Grega' (Greek-style Shrimp) is a Brazilian creation. The term 'à Grega' in Brazilian cuisine often signifies a dish prepared with a golden, breaded exterior, and sometimes includes the use of white sauce elements, drawing a loose connection to Mediterranean flavors rather than direct Greek influence. Its precise origins are unknown, but it likely emerged as a restaurant creation adapted to local tastes.

Camarão à Grega balances the savory sweetness of shrimp with a crispy, golden-brown breading and a creamy, tangy tartar sauce.
The dominant flavor is the fresh, slightly sweet taste of shrimp. The breading provides a textural contrast and a satisfying crunch, with a mild, slightly salty and savory flavor. The tartar sauce, typically made with mayonnaise, pickles, capers, and herbs, adds a creamy, tangy, and slightly acidic counterpoint that complements the richness of the fried shrimp.

Proper Shrimp Preparation
Ensure the shrimp are thoroughly cleaned and deveined. Pat them dry before breading to help the batter adhere better.
Crispy Breading
Use a fine breadcrumb for a delicate crust, or a coarser panko for a crunchier texture. Consider double-breading for extra crispness.
Frying Temperature
Maintain the oil temperature consistently to prevent the shrimp from becoming greasy or undercooked. A temperature around 350°F (175°C) is ideal.
Homemade Tartar Sauce
While store-bought tartar sauce is convenient, making your own allows you to customize the flavors to your preference.
