Thaw, pat dry and place shrimp in large plastic bag.

Add 3 spoonfuls Shore Lunch Breading mix, a little pepper and shake until shrimp are lightly covered.

Melt 1" butter in large pan on high.  Add shrimp and fry on one side until just red, then flip each one and cook until done, about 2 minutes.  Don't over cook.  Set aside

Cook 1 box penne pasta, set aside.

In large frying pan, melt 1" butter then add 2 handfuls chopped red onion.  Cook for 2 minutes stirring.  Add 1 1/2  cup Chablis or other white wine.  Cook on high for 3-4 minutes stirring often.  Add 3 " rosemary peeling the leaves off the branches.  Do the same for 4" of Thyme.  Add 2 large spoonfuls regular pasta sauce.
