This shrimp and mushrooms sauce is luscious, juicy and just succulent. It’s delicious over mashed potatoes, rice or pasta, making it an all-around great dish! I also discovered that it reheats wonderfully so you can make it a day ahead and warm it up stove-top before serving.

We stopped in to visit friends in Nevada on our way home from California a couple weeks ago and Lyuda (who sure knows her way around the kitchen), served us an amazing lunch which included this shrimp and mushroom garlic bisque sauce over some fluffy white rice. I shamelessly re-filled my plate 4 times. It was an instant favorite.

Lyuda shared the recipe with me and I’ve already served it to company at our house, this time over chive mashed potatoes. It was a hit! Lyuda also gave me her recipe for a delicious crab salad that she served and I will post it soon (stay tuned!).

How to Make an amazing Shrimp Bisque Sauce:

1. In a large heavy bottom skillet or a WOK, combine your diced tomatoes and pressed garlic with 3 Tbsp olive oil and simmer uncovered over medium heat until tomatoes are soft and release their juices (10-12 min). Remove your tomatoes and set aside

2. In the same skillet over med/high heat, caramelize your diced onions and sliced mushrooms then add the tomato mixture back into the same pan.

4. Bring your sauce to a simmer over med/high heat and add in the shrimp. Turn the shrimp a couple times in the sauce while cooking and simmer until shrimp is cooked through. Don’t overcook or your shrimp will turn rubbery

Let the sauce cool down a little bit (it will thicken a little as it cools) then serve over your favorite plain rice, pasta or mashed potatoes. It’s soooo good! These pictures don’t even do it justice. If you could just chomp down on one of these juicy shrimpers. Oh goodness!
