MeDevIS platform announced to boost access to medical technologies and devices

World Health Organization (WHO) has introduced an online platform called MeDevIS (Medical Devices Information System) - an initiative aimed at improving access to critical information about medical devices globally.

While this is a potentially controversial initiative that may lead some to ask why another database of medical devices is required, the WHO MedevIS platform is a commendable effort which aims to address what WHO views as several critical needs in the global healthcare landscape. By providing a centralized repository of information, it has the potential to enhance the quality, safety, and accessibility of medical devices worldwide.

This recipe’s name is a true misnomer because there is no bar-b-que grill nor sauce used. Instead, this recipe comes from a Creole-Italian, family-owned restaurant that opened in 1913. Frank Manale opened what he called Manale’s Restaurant in a former grocery at the intersection of Napoleon and Dryades. When Manale died in 1937, his nephew Pascal Radosta took over. Years later, he added his name over the door and created Pascal’s Manale, which it’s been known as ever since.

Pascal’s Manale is a staple in New Orleans and worth a stop if you’re ever in the area.

Recipe:

• 1 pound or 21-25 headless shrimp
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/2 cup Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic

The "Manale spice" mix:

• 4 teaspoons black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon basil

Instructions:

Wash and pat dry shrimp. Add the Manale spice mix, garlic, Lea & Perrins and Tabasco. Then pour the olive oil over the shrimp, adding the white wine. Stir together. (Though it's not in the official recipe, I saw him put a big pat of butter in the pan.) Cook over high heat until shrimp are done, approximately ten minutes. Do not overcook shrimp. Serve the shrimp in a wide soup bowl and have hard-crust French bread on hand for dipping in the buttery, peppery sauce. Peel the shrimp and eat.
