Preparation

1. In a small bowl mix up the Manale spice mix.

2. Wash and pat dry shrimp, place in a large bowl. Add the Manale spice mix, garlic, Worcestershire and Tabasco. Then pour the olive oil over the shrimp, adding the white wine. Stir together. 

3. Put a big pat of butter in the pan and add the shrimp mixture, cook over high heat until shrimp are done, approximately 5-8 minutes. Do not overcook shrimp.
