2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for the first stage of cooking; you’ll be adding more later)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 - 3 cloves garlic, finely minced (or to taste)
1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Tobacco or Crystal; after you make this dish once, you may decide you want to use more)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (or more to taste)
1 teaspoon Cajun or Creole seasoning (I use my own blend—you can find the recipe in my prior post on Chicken and Andouille Sausage Gumbo; or use a commercial blend)
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced (optional, but tasty)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
¾ cup white wine or dry vermouth
1 pound white shrimp, size 21/25, shelled and deveined but with the tail unshelled (thaw in the refrigerator overnight if frozen; see Notes)
salt
1 additional stick unsalted butter, chilled and cut into 8 tablespoon-sized pieces
