Serving

4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 cup water
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tbsp finely chopped coriander (or flat leaf parsley)
1 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp saffron, toasted, crushed and soaked in 1 tbsp warm water for 15 minutes
1/2 cup red wine or 1/2 cup light beer
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
2 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp white pepper
2 tsp hot chili sauce (or generous pinch crushed red pepper)
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined (26-30 count )

Directions:

Melt butter in a 3-quart pot over medium-low heart.
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 to 4 minutes, allowing the essence of the spices and herbs to mingle.
Pour in the red wine or beer with the lemon juice. Stir.
Cover and raise heat to medium-high and bring the sauce to boil.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 2 minutes.
Toss in the shrimp, hot peppers 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 flavourful sauce. (This can also be served over rice!).
