Shrimp Diane

This is indescribably good.....a great recipe for a special occasion for 2 people. If you plan on making this for more than two people, do it in separate batches. I serve this over rice and also have french bread to mop up the delicious sauce. Recipe is from chef paul prudhomme's louisiana kitchen.

When almost melted , add the green onions , salt , garlic , the ground peppers , basil , thyme and oregano.

Add the shrimp and saute just until they turn pink , about 1 minute , shaking the pan in a back-and-forth motion.

Add the mushrooms and 1 / 4 cup of the stock.

Then add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in chunks and continue cooking , continuing to shake the pan.

Before the butter chunks are completely melted , add the parsley , then the remaining 2 tablespoons stock.

Serve immediately in a bowl with lots of french bread on the side , or serve over pasta or rice.
