Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Cooked shrimp
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 slices/crackers (optional quantity) Bread or crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Prepare the ingredients by thawing the frozen peas and patting dry the cooked shrimp if necessary.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied.
Whisk in the flour to the melted butter, stirring constantly to create a smooth paste, about 1 minute.
Slowly add the milk, a little at a time, whisking to ensure no lumps form. Continue cooking and whisking for 4-5 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken.
Season the white sauce with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
Add the cooked shrimp and peas into the saucepan, stirring gently to coat them in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the shrimp and peas are heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
Serve the Shrimp Wiggle hot over toasted bread slices or crackers. Enjoy!
