Sauce: Crevettes recipe
Serving Size: 6

Ingredients

- 1 1/2 tbsp (22.18 mL) butter
- 4 medium shrimp, cleaned and diced
- 1 1/2 cups (354.88 mL) prepared fish velouté sauce
- 1/4 cup (59.15 mL) heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (118.29 mL) fish stock
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cayenne pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Melt butter in a saucepan and sauté the diced shrimp until opaque and cooked through. Lift them out and reserve.
2. Stir fish velouté, cream and stock into the pan. Reduce to the thickness you want, stirring regularly.
3. Return shrimp to the sauce to warm through, season with salt, pepper and cayenne, and serve.

This modern velouté-based version uses sautéed shrimp rather than prepared shrimp butter. US quantities are retained with calculated metric volume equivalents; no ingredient weights inferred.
