Butter (1/4 cup)
Celery (1 bunch chopped)
Onions (2 chopped)
Garlic (about 4 toes)
Green peppers (3 chopped)
Tomatoes (1 can)

Pepper (white for smell, red for the burn & black for the taste.)
Paprika (to taste)
Bay leaves (1-2)
Shrimp (1 ½ pounds)
White or Red wine – chef’s preference
“The theory is to cook with the same wine that you’re drinking but I never do. Don’t spend more than $15 on a wine you plan on just cooking with.” I don’t usually argue with the cook but my husband is known from time to time to toss his own coveted wine, from his glass, into a dish just to keep the guests entertained. Red Wine – use White Zinfandel as Marsala Wine can be too sweet for Chicken. White Wine – Fume Blanc which is a little lighter than a chardonnay for Clam and Shrimp meals.
