Juicy shrimp sautéed with mushrooms, green onions, and a wine-butter sauce create a flavorful dish perfect for seafood lovers and elegant dinners alike.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan.
- Add sliced mushrooms, chopped green onions, and basil; sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Dredge the shrimp in flour, then sauté in the mushroom mixture until just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
- Add white wine, 4 tablespoons of butter, lemon juice, and parsley.
- Mix well and serve over cooked rice.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of wild and cultivated mushrooms. If you don't have fresh basil, dried basil can be substituted, though use it sparingly as it is stronger. For a gluten-free option, replace the flour with cornstarch. Ensure the shrimp are fresh or properly thawed for the best texture and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this dish over a bed of rice for a complete meal. It pairs beautifully with a fresh salad, such as Seashell Macaroni Salad, or steamed vegetables for a balanced plate. A crisp white wine complements the flavors, enhancing the dish's overall appeal.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of wine or broth to maintain moisture. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the shrimp rubbery.
