INSTRUCTIONS
CORUNESA SAUCE
*about 1 pound after peeling (about 20 shrimp)
CORUNESA SAUCE: Melt butter and olive oil in a large saucepan. Saute
onions, celery and garlic. Add tomato sauce, paprika and flour. Stir well
and add water. Boil gently for thirty minutes. Blend (I used my new
hand-held blender). Add wine, brandy, Pernod, salt and pepper. Cook down to
about 1/2 slowly.
SHRIMP: Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onion, green pepper, garlic,
and shrimp. Saute for 2 minutes. Add brandy and flambe. Add white wine and
Corunesa sauce, salt and pepper. Saute a few minutes -- not too long --
shrimp overcooks easily. Serve over pasta or rice. .
NOTES : This is a delicious shrimp dish. It's flavorful, but not so spicy
that the taste of the shrimp is overpowered. The original inspiration for
this recipe comes from The Columbia Restaurant Spanish Cookbook. However,
I have changed it quite a bit. Corunesa has a tilde over the "n" but I
don't like to use special characters. The sauce recipe as given here
makes a bit over a pint. That's enough for two batches of shrimp. This
is a first time attempt - further experimentation my result in other
changes.
