Ingredients

In a small, heat-resistant, non-metallic bowl, melt the butter in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Note

The original recipe text included additional ingredients not listed in the main ingredient list: 3/4 cup dry white wine, 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 cup light cream or milk, 4 1/2 oz can medium-sized shrimp (rinsed and drained), chopped parsley, shallots, salt, and pepper. These were inferred into the directions based on context.

Ensure all cooking vessels are microwave-safe and non-metallic.

If the sauce becomes too thick during heating, add a splash of milk or reserved cooking liquid to reach desired consistency.

Fresh shrimp can be used as a substitute for canned shrimp; ensure they are cooked through before adding to the sauce.
