Shrimp A La William For Four (modified)

You are perplexed by the doctrine of God’s sovereignty and election. I wonder that any man believing in a God should be perplexed by these. For if there be a God, a King, eternal, immortal, and invisible, He cannot but be sovereign – and He cannot but do according to His own will and choose according to His own purpose. You may dislike these doctrines, but you can only get quit of them by denying altogether the existence of an infinitely wise, glorious, and powerful Being. God would not be God were He not thus absolutely sovereign in His present doings and His eternal pre-arrangements.

INGREDIENTS

2	lb	Shrimp, in shells
1/4	c	Olive oil
1/4	c	Salad oil
1/2		Onion, finely chopped
1	T	Parsley, chopped optional
4		Fresh tomatos, skinned &
		chopped
1		Pod garlic, chopped
1	pn	Saffron
2	oz	Dry white wine
		Salt and pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

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.  NOTES : The
original recipe is by William Ardid, of Chez Ardid  Restaurant, San
Antonio TX.  From the cookbook:  "Chez Ardid is an  elegant,
family-owned restgaurant in San Antonio.  Chez Ardid's  owner, William
, uses many of his grandmother's recipes.  Thus, his  sauces and
cooking tedchniques are classically French.  Chez Ardid  has a splendid
reputation and is a perennial favorite of Texans  everywhere!" Recipe
