Preparation

Step 1

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small grass bowl in microwave oven (about 1 minute at high). Add bread crumbs and parsley; mix well and set aside.

Put 3 tablespoons butter, mushrooms and green onion into a 1-quart glass measuring pitcher. Cook uncovered in microwave oven 2 minutes at High.

Stir flour and salt into mushroom mixture. Gradually add half-and half and sherry, stirring until smooth. Cook uncovered in microwave oven 2 to 3 minutes at High, or until thickened; stir once.

Stir shrimp into thickened sherry sauce. Pour into 8 microwave-oven-safe ramekins or glass custard cups. Top with reserved crumb mixture (about 2 tablespoons for each). Cook uncovered in microwave oven 3 to 4 minutes at High, or until thoroughly heated.
