This is a really tasty shrimp recipe that I got from a cookbook I purchased in January 1993. ;o) The name of the book is Supreme Cuisine by Pol Martin. There are some really delicious recipes that I have made over the years from this book and this is one of them. Read more I wanted to share it with you as one of my favorites. The photo is not mine but comes from my book, but this is another recipe I did not want to wait to make to share the recipe and photo. See less

How to make it
- Grind the garlic, peppers, thyme and oregano together in a mortar; or if you don't have a mortar, you can use a coffee grinder or even the back of a wooden spoon.
- Heat butter in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Add spice mixture and cook 1 minute. (This will allow the oils of the spices to be released which will enhance the dept of flavor in the dish.)
- Add mushrooms and green onions. Season with salt, stir and cook 4 minutes.
- Add shrimp and cook 3 minutes. Stir once during cooking. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside.
- Increase heat to high and pour in shrimp stock. Bring to boil and cook 2 minutes. Wisk in buerre manie'.
- Return shrimp to pan and cook 1 minute over low heat. Serve over rice of your choice, pasta or even garlic mashed potatoes. Also, french bread toasted with garlic butter and a green salad goes nicely with this dish as well.
- *************************************************************************
- You could substitute shrimp for chicken or pork as well. The cooking time would be a bit longer.
- The basic recipe is Pol Martin's but the helpful hints and suggested sides are from me. ;o) Enjoy!
- I hope you enjoy this dish and make it your own. ;o)
