Description

Shrimp Newburg is a rich and creamy seafood dish that features succulent shrimp cooked in a buttery sherry-infused sauce with paprika for a subtle smoky flavor. This comforting recipe combines a smooth roux-based cream sauce with perfectly sautéed shrimp, offering a delicious variation of classic seafood dishes like Thermidor.

Ingredients

Shrimp

  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails removed

Sauce

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sherry wine

Instructions

  1. Prepare the shrimp: Rinse the shrimp and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels. Remove the tails, heads, and veins carefully, then set the cleaned shrimp aside.
  2. Make the roux: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a skillet until it turns golden. Whisk in the flour, paprika, salt, and white pepper continuously until the mixture forms a thick, smooth paste without lumps.
  3. Add milk and cream: Slowly pour in the whole milk and heavy cream while whisking constantly to fully incorporate the roux. Continue whisking until the sauce becomes thick and smooth.
  4. Incorporate sherry: Gradually add the sherry wine to the sauce, whisking continuously until fully blended. Keep stirring over medium heat until the sauce thickens further and starts to bubble, making sure to scrape the pan’s bottom and sides to prevent burning.
  5. Simmer the sauce: Reduce the heat to the lowest setting and let the sauce simmer gently. Stir every couple of minutes to maintain smoothness and avoid sticking.
  6. Sauté the shrimp: In a separate frying pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the shrimp and sauté them over medium heat for about 1 minute per side. Cook just until they turn slightly pink with golden edges but are not fully cooked through.
  7. Combine shrimp and sauce: Add the sautéed shrimp along with any extra melted butter to the creamy sauce. Stir thoroughly to incorporate the butter into the sauce.
  8. Finish cooking shrimp: Continue cooking the mixture gently for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the shrimp are fully cooked and the sauce is rich and creamy.
  9. Serve: Serve the Shrimp Newburg hot immediately for a luxurious and tasty seafood main course.

Notes

  • Use large, fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. Ensure they are properly peeled and deveined.
  • The sherry adds a unique depth and sweetness; use dry cooking sherry for balanced flavor.
  • Watch the sauce carefully when thickening to avoid scorching.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially the salt and paprika.
  • This dish pairs well with toasted bread, rice, or buttered noodles.
