Shrimp in Creamy Garlic Sauce image

Quick & Easy! This uses the same sauce I made for my "Easy Cheesy Creamed Spinach & Garlic", but without the Parmesan. I served this with Asian-style vegetables and Roasted Red Potatoes. Remove the tails & serve with crackers and this makes a very tasty appetizer!!

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
2-3 Tbsp garlic powder (add more if you want a strong garlic flavor)
3/4 - 1 c milk (more or less to get the right consistency)
1/4 c evaporated milk **
1 1/2 lb shrimp, cooked, peeled and deveined
fresh parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan over Medium heat, melt butter.
  • 2. Add flour. Adjust amount, if needed, to make a rue.
  • 3. Add garlic. Whisk until smooth.
  • 4. ** Add milks, pouring slowly while whisking to avoid lumps. (You can use more or less of each kind of milk to suit your taste. I like to add some Evap. milk to the regular to add creaminess.)
  • 5. Whisk until blended well.
  • 6. Add shrimp & cook on low until heated through, stirring occasionally.
  • 7. Serve with chopped fresh parsley sprinkled on top.
