Shrimp In Pernod Cream Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Put the flour, salt and pepper in a plastic sealable bag. Shake shrimp in flour to coat evenly, shaking off excess.
• Melt one tablespoon butter in a saute pan on medium high and add the oil. When the butter and oil just approaches the smoking point, saute the shrimp until just done, approximately 5 minutes, depending on the size of the shrimp.
• *Do not overcook as they will be rewarmed in the sauce later.* Remove the shrimp and tent with foil to keep them warm.
• In the same pan add the other tablespoon butter on medium heat until melted, and cook the shallots until they are opaque. Increase heat to high and deglaze the pan with the Pernod, scraping up any pieces of cooked food. Cook the Pernod until the alcohol is evaporated and it is reduced by half. Then, add the cream and the tomato paste and bring to a rapid boil.
• Reduce the heat slightly, add the thyme and sage allow to reduce to a sauce like consistency (about 5 minutes).
• Return the shrimp to the sauce and reheat. Serve the shrimp drizzled with a generous amount of sauce and garnish with chives.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a skillet, add the peppercorns and sauté for about 1 minute.
• Add the shrimp and cook 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until they are just pink.
• Pour over the Pernod and flame. Add chives and cream and heat just to simmer. Serve immediately with lots of crusty bread to mop up the sauce!

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add broth and garlic. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat.

Place cut side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Pour cream sauce over shrimp. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Serve with noodles or rice.

Steps:

• Combine sliced leeks, dry white wine and red bell pepper in large pot. Add mussels. Bring to boil over high heat. Cover pot and cook until mussels open, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer mussels to medium bowl (discard any mussels that do not open). Add whipping cream and Pernod to pot; boil until liquid is slightly reduced, about 4 minutes. Mix in chopped parsley. Return mussels and any accumulated juices to pot. Simmer until mussels are warmed through, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper. Serve mussels with broth.

• Saute scallops in clarified butter until golden brown.
• Add pernod carefully and flambe. Once flame has gone out add cream.
