Camarones a La Fonda

(Shrimp sauteed in wine with spices)

2 tablespoons sweet butter

1/4 cup dry white wine

1/2 cup Creole Sauce (see below)

4 tablespoons mole powder

Shell shrimp, leaving tails intact. Devein and rinse in cold water. Then split each shrimp in half lengthwise.

In a medium saucepan melt butter, add shrimp, and cook them until they turn pink, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes. Add wine, continuing to stir until wine is evaporated.

Add Creole Sauce, stir, and simmer for 1 minute. Sprinkle with mole powder and stir until mole is completely blended into sauce.

1 small clove garlic, peeled and minced

2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped

1 green pepper, seeded and chopped

1 stalk celery, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup chopped cilantro or parsley

Heat oil in small skillet. Add onion and garlic and saute until golden.
