1/2 cup white wine

Stock
Mash shrimp with mortar and pestle. Put in pot with chopped onions. Pour in 1 pint water and 1/2 cup white wine. Simmer covered 1/2 hour.

Rice
Wash 1 cup rice and dry in warm oven. Cook a thinly sliced small onion in clarified butter and add rice. Add 20 oz. of stock, mix and top with a sprig of parsley, a bay leaf and some thyme. Bake at 450o for 18 minutes. Remove herbs.
Shrimp Cook the halved shrimp in clarified butter until pink. Pour over them 1/4 cup marsala or vermouth. Let rest for 5 minutes off heat. Mix 1/2 cup cream with 3 eggs and pour over shrimp. Heat until eggs start to cook and pour over rice. Sprinkle with a little cayenne pepper and top with some small bunches of parsley.

Note from Marty: I had no heavy cream and used instead 1/3 cup milk, a large dollop of sour cream and some lime juice. It was extraordinaire.
