How to Make Shrimp Toulouse
- Melt 2 ounces (57 grams) of butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add 8 ounces (227 grams) sliced mushrooms and 1 cup (approximately 150 grams) each of sliced green and red bell peppers. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened and slightly translucent.
- Stir in 1/2 cup (approximately 50 grams) chopped green onions, 1 pound (454 grams) peeled and deveined shrimp, and 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Pour in 1/2 cup (120 ml) dry white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced by half (approximately 3-5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low. Slowly whisk in 3 ounces (85 grams) of cold butter, 1 ounce (28 grams) at a time, until the sauce is smooth and emulsified.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over 2 cups cooked white rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
