Need recipe for shrimp sauce (pepper, onions, mushroom, fish)

[SXMGirl]

I need a shrimp sauce to go over flounder. The fish store today gave me more shrimp than I needed. They wanted to get rid of it before tomorrow. Any ideas would be appreciated.

We like this. It's a tweaked version of a recipe that came from a Junior League, Monroe, Louisiana cookbook, so it is a little on the spicy side. It works great over fish, or you can just use it as a sauce over pasta. You can also substitute crawfish for shrimp.

1/2 stick butter
1 diced bell pepper
5 or 6 diced green onions
2 cans of cream-of-shrimp soup
1 small can sliced mushrooms (drained, juice reserved)
Juice of one lemon (or to taste)
1/3 cup sherry
salt (to taste)
red pepper (to taste--be careful)
Worcestershire (to taste)

Saute bell pepper and onion in butter until limp. Add shrimp soup, drained mushrooms, 1/3 cup of the mushroom juice, lemon juice, sherry, salt, red pepper, and Worcestershire. Bring to a bubble, and add shrimp. Cook on low until shrimp are cooked.

Thanks. I found a recipe on Allrecipes, but it doesn't sound as good as yours.

I agree. That sounds amazing!

If it was me, I'd just use lemon juice on the flounder and have shrimp cocktail as an appetizer. Or freeze the extra shrimp and use it on pizza, in gumbo, or quiche.
