Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup dry sherry
- 3 egg yolks
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 4 servings cooked white rice or toast
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and let it melt.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and melt over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux, stirring constantly.
Gradually add the heavy cream and milk, whisking continuously to ensure a smooth sauce.
Cook the mixture over medium heat until it thickens, approximately 3-5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sherry. Slowly add a small amount of the hot sauce to the egg mixture to temper it, whisking constantly.
Gradually pour the tempered egg mixture back into the skillet, stirring continuously to avoid curdling.
Add the salt, ground black pepper, and paprika to the sauce, stirring to combine.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, gently folding them into the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are heated through.
Serve the Shrimp Newburg over cooked white rice or toasted bread, and garnish with additional paprika if desired.
