Delight Your Family With Rich and Creamy Shrimp Newburg

Gather the ingredients. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. If using mushrooms, saute, stirring, until golden. Blend the flour and seasonings into the butter. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes. Gradually add half-and-half and sherry to the roux; cook until the sauce is smooth and has thickened, stirring constantly. Beat the egg yolks in a small bowl. Whisk about one-third of the hot cream sauce mixture into the egg yolks. Add the egg yolk and sauce mixture back to the saucepan and whisk to blend. Heat to 175 F or until the cream sauce coats the back of a spoon. Add shrimp and heat through, stirring constantly. Serve the shrimp and sauce over puff pastry shells, rice, angel hair pasta, or toast points.
