How to Make Almost Shrimp Newburg

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup evaporated milk until smooth. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Reduce heat to low. Gradually whisk in 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup clam juice, and 1/4 cup dry sherry. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese). Whisk until melted and smooth.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a greased 1.5-quart casserole dish, place 1 pound cooked shrimp. Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the shrimp.
  5. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup crushed saltine crackers and 2 tablespoons melted butter.
  6. Sprinkle the cracker crumbs evenly over the shrimp and sauce.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the crackers are golden brown. Alternatively, bake without crackers until bubbly and serve over cooked rice.
  8. Serve hot and enjoy!
