How To Make shrimp with whiskey tarragon sauce on french bread

  • 1
    Heat butter in a medium sauce pan and cook onion until soft and translucent. Add garlic and lemon juice.
  • 2
    When garlic is just soft add heavy cream, milk, mustard and tarragon. Let sauce cook on med-low heat for 30 minutes to reduce by half, stirring occasionally
  • 3
    In a large skillet heat the butter and add shrimp. Toss with salt, pepper and garlic. Cook about 80% through about 1 – 2 minutes (shrimp will continue to cook in sauce).
  • 4
    While shrimp are cooking, cut French bread into ½ inch rounds and drizzle with olive oil. Toast in an oven or broiler until crisp.
  • 5
    Add the whiskey to the shrimp and flambé to burn it off. Add sauce to cover shrimp in pan and reduce heat to low.
  • 6
    Plate the bread toasts and top with 1 shrimp each. Drizzle sauce generously over shrimp and bread. Enjoy!
