Directions: |
Directions:Over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a heavy, nonreactive 4-quart saucepan.
Add the garlic and cook just until it starts to brown, about one minute. Add the white onions, sweet peppers and celery, and cook until the onions are clear, about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.
Add the tomato paste and cook and stir two minutes.
Add the tomatoes, stock, parsley, thyme, 1 cup of the wine, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon of black pepper and ¼ teaspoon of cayenne.
Reduce the heat and simmer about 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, place the shrimp in a large mixing bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of salt, the paprika, ¼ teaspoon of black pepper and ¼ teaspoon of cayenne.
Over medium-high heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy 12-inch skillet. Add the shrimp and sauté until they are about halfway cooked for about two minutes.
Add the remaining ¼ cup of wine, stirring thoroughly. Once the tomato sauce has simmered 20 minutes, add the shrimp and liquid in the skillet to the sauce.
Continue simmering just until the shrimp are cooked through, about two minutes more. Do not overcook the shrimp. Stir in the green onions. |
