2 pounds shrimp (in shells) 1/4 cup olive oil 1/4 cup salad oil 1/2 onion
finely chopped 1 tablespoon parsley :
chopped (optional) 4 fresh tomatos
skinned & chopped 1 pod garlic :
chopped 1 pinch saffron 2 ounces dry white wine salt and pepper -- to taste Peel tomatoses (place in boiling water for about 1 minute to loosen skin. Set aside to cool.) Saute shrimp in oil for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove shells. Season to taste ( I used lime juice and hot pepper sauce) . Set aside. In same pan, saute onion until golden; add next 3 ingredients (I skipped parsley as I didn't have any). Cook 10 minutes. Add white wine. [NB: Original recipe called for 1 ounce. I added at least another ounce. Can't be precise. I just poured it out of the glass I was dirinking out of) . Saute a bit longer until sauce cooks down. Add shrimp and let simmer 3 minutes. Don't overcook the shrimp! Serve over rice. My notes: The original recipe called for a "tube" of saffron. I don't know how much that is, so I put in about a pinch. I suppose the dish could live without it. It also called for vegetable oil only, but I used half vegetable oil and half olive oil. I used nice large shrimp - and that made a difference.
