Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add ½ cup of chopped onion and 1 cup of sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until onions are translucent and mushrooms are tender.
  • Sprinkle ¼ cup of all-purpose flour into the skillet, stirring well to combine with the vegetables. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour turns slightly golden.
  • Gradually whisk in ¼ cup of sherry, then slowly pour in 1 cup of heavy cream while continuing to whisk. Heat the mixture gently for about 3-5 minutes until thickened and creamy.
  • Stir in 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.
  • Gently fold in 1 pound of peeled and deveined shrimp into the sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
  • Stir in ¼ cup of chopped green onions just before serving.
