Recipe



1. Melt butter in a 3-quart pot over medium-low heat. Toss in onion and fry until lightly golden. Pour in the water followed by garlic, cilantro, turmeric,and saffron water. Cover and simmer for 3 to4 minutes, allowing the essence of the spices and herbs to mingle.


2. Pour in the wine or beer with the lemon juice. Stir. Cover and raise heat to medium-high and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes. Toss in the shrimp, hot pepprs or chili sauce if using and give them a turn in the sauce. Cook for three minutes over medium-low until the shrimp are just curled tender and turned pink. Spoon the shrimp into bowls and serve with plenty of crusty bread to dip in the flavorful sauce. (This can also be served over rice.)

The perfect wine for this is Joao Pires Vinho Verde
