"I have long believed that good food, good eating is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure."--Anthony Bourdain

When Craig and I were visiting CA one year we had this shrimp at Jack Shrimp in Newport Beach. It was great and this is the 'copy cat' recipe I found and have made often.

1 - 1 1/2 pounds unshelled shrimp ( If possible use wild shrimp rather than farm raised shrimp and the larger the shrimp the better)
1/3 cup olive oil
1/3 cup butter
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
1 tsp dry thyme
1 tsp crumbled dried rosemary
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (or to taste)
2 tsps sweet paprika
2 T worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 T fresh lemon juice

Rinse the shrimp and set aside (clear if necessary without shelling)
Heat the oil and butter in a large heavy skillet (cast iron would work great) until the butter is melted. Add the onion and garlic and saute o medium heat for 5 minutes or until the onion is softened and translucent (do not burn the garlic)

Stir in the thyme, rosemary, black pepper, cayenne, paprika and the shrimp and saute for another 2 minutes, stirring to turn the shrimp. Pour in the worcestershire sauce, wine, and lemon juice. Simmer for 4 mnutes . Often adding one small diced tomato adds flavor, if wanted.

To serve place the entire skillet on the table on a hot plate between people and use thinly slice crusty french bread to sop up all the juices while peeling and eating the shrimp.

Served with a green salad this is a fun and tasty meal.
