Ingredients
  

For the Shrimp Newburg
  • 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined) Use fresh or thawed shrimp.
  • 2 tablespoons butter For sautéing.
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped) Adds flavor to the dish.
  • 1 cup heavy cream For the creamy sauce.
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth (halal-friendly) To enhance the sauce flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (mixed with a little water) To thicken the sauce.
  • Salt and pepper (to taste) For seasoning.

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Cooking
  1. Toss in the shrimp and cook until they turn pink—approximately 3-5 minutes.

Notes

You can prep the ingredients a day in advance. If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Avoid microwaving the shrimp to maintain texture.
