Shrimp Thermidor Recipes

Description

1.Preheat the broiler.

2.Toss the shrimp with the oil in a large bowl until well coated.

3.Place the shrimp on the broiler rack or a lipped baking sheet. Broil 4 inches from the heat source for 2 minutes, then turn with tongs or a metal spatula. Broil for 2 more minutes, or until the shells turn a light brown and the meat inside is firm. Set the shrimp aside to cool.

4.Combine the wine, stock, and shallot in a small saucepan and place it over high heat. Bring to a boil and cook until the liquid is reduced to a thick glaze, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

5.Melt the butter in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until it is completely

incorporated. Cook for 1 minute, but do not allow the flour to brown.Shrimp Thermidor Recipes
