Shrimp Stroganoff

Preparation mode

• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the prawns and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
• In the same frying pan, add a little more butter, if necessary, and sauté the onion, garlic and pepper until soft, about 5 minutes.
• If using mushrooms, add them to the skillet and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender.
• Add the tomato paste, ketchup and mustard to the pan, stirring well to incorporate all the ingredients.
• Pour the tomato sauce into the skillet and stir to combine. Let the mixture cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cream and milk to the mixture. Cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is heated through and slightly thickened.
• Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
• Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat them through.
• Serve the shrimp stroganoff over white rice or cooked pasta and sprinkle with chopped parsley to decorate.
