Creamy Shrimp Newburg is a luxurious dish that captures the essence of indulgent comfort food. This classic American recipe boasts a rich and velvety Newburg sauce made with cream, sherry, and a delightful blend of spices, enveloping tender shrimp and mushrooms.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1 cup mushrooms (sliced)
1/2 cup shallots (finely chopped)
1/2 cup green bell pepper (diced)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sherry or white wine
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Cooked pasta or rice
Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the sliced mushrooms and green bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually add the sherry (or white wine) while stirring continuously. Allow it to simmer for 2 minutes.
Slowly stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and paprika. Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the shrimp to the sauce, cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the Creamy Shrimp Newburg over your choice of cooked pasta or rice. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
