New Orleans Cuisine - Shrimp Victoria
By pbrignac
This is Brennan's classic Shrimp Victoria. The two key ingredients in this recipe, besides good quality Shrimp, are Fresh Basil, and Sour Cream which adds a nice tang to the dish. This is great to serve over Rice or Pasta. Here is my version

Preparation
Step 1
Melt the butter in a saute pan, add the Green Onions, Mushrooms, Basil, and Shrimp. Saute until the shrimp just start to turn pink. Add the white wine and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the Heavy Cream, Worcestershire and seasonings. Add the Roux, cook for 1-2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream, adjust the seasonings if necessary, serve immediately. Brennan's serves this over parsley rice, it goes well over pasta also.
