- For best results, choose fresh shrimp that has been recently caught.
- When selecting mushrooms, look for ones that are firm and have a fresh, earthy smell.
- Substitute olive oil for butter. This substitution is beneficial because olive oil is a healthier source of fat than butter and provides a delicious flavor.
- Substitute couscous for rice. This substitution is beneficial because couscous is a type of pasta that cooks quickly and has a nutty flavor that complements the shrimp and vegetables nicely.
Shrimp Alfredo Replace the sour cream with Alfredo sauce. Add 1/2 cup of white wine to the sauce mixture. Cook until the sauce thickens and shrimp is cooked through. Serve over cooked pasta instead of rice.
Spinach Salad with Orange Vinaigrette - This light and fresh salad is the perfect accompaniment to Shrimp Victoria, balancing out the richness of the dish with a fresh and zesty flavor. The orange vinaigrette adds a bright citrus note that complements the shrimp and mushrooms.
Grilled Asparagus with Lemon: This simple and flavorful side dish is the perfect complement to the Spinach Salad with Orange Vinaigrette.
