This is a Plan Z Diet ZReduction recipe. This dish comes together in what feels like an instant. The sauce is quick and easy and because you are using cooked shrimp, it doesn’t take long to cook, maybe 15 minutes total. This tastes very gourmet without the fuss of slaving over a hot stove all day. And it’s nice enough to make for company.

Servings: Serves 6

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs of cooked shrimp (approximately 8 per serving of medium-large shrimp), thawed. Tails on or off – your choice. I leave the tails on for looks but I don’t eat them.
• 2 medium shallots, minced
• 1 cup of organic chicken broth
• ¼ cup of balsamic vinegar
• ¼ cup of heavy cream
• 3 Tbl of Dijon mustard
• 2 Tbl of minced, fresh tarragon
• 1 Tbl of minced, fresh chives
• Olive oil spray
• Sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Season shrimp with salt and pepper and set aside.

Lightly spritz one or two large sauté pans with olive oil. In the pan(s) add the shallots. Sauté them lightly just to loosen up the shallots. Add the tarragon. Deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar. Then add the broth and the shrimp. Heat until the shrimp are hot. Then add the cream and mustard. Simmer on medium just until the sauce begins to thicken a bit. There isn’t that much cream in this dish so it won’t thicken like a regular sauce but you should be able to get it to thicken a bit.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the shrimp on plates with a scattering of the fresh chives. YUM!

Enjoy!
Cheers,
