How to Make Creamy Seafood Sauce

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Sauté 1/4 cup finely chopped shallots until softened, about 2 minutes.
  2. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of tomato juice and 1 cup of milk. Continue whisking until smooth.
  4. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, stirring continuously. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, or until slightly thickened.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons of dry sherry and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add 1 cup of cooked seafood (shrimp, scallops, lobster, or a combination) and gently heat through. If using chicken, add 1 cup of cooked and diced chicken.
