Sorry it took so long to get this to you, had to work today.... We found this dish at a mexican seafood restaurant here in Waco, it's their #1 seller. When I asked for the recipe I thought they would just smile at me but the waitress gladly gave it up. The reason I said that you have to be in Texas to get the main ingredient is because it is at HEB, a Texas chain of food stores. A local chef, Geoffrey Michael's, has his own line of spice there and one of them is called "Gabrielle" after his daughter. I put about 1/2" of olive oil in a skillet, 1 TBS of butter and heat up, after the oil heats up you put the desired amount of peeled and deveined shrimp in the oil, then you generously sprinkle the spice on the shrimp, cook till done, pour over a bed of rice.... that with steamed veggies and a real crusty slice of bread, we like ciabatta warmed in the oven, for dipping in the oil and there you have it........ Simple but out of this world...... If you cant find the spice at HEB or don't live in Texas and want some let me know, I'll send some to you.
Mike
