Notes
Shrimp cook quickly so remove them from heat as soon as they turn opaque to keep them tender. If the sauce becomes too thick add a small splash of water or broth and stir until smooth. If it becomes too thin allow it to simmer longer so it reduces naturally. Mashed potatoes should be warm when serving to ensure the sauce blends perfectly with the base. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days and reheat gently on the stove adding a little water if the sauce thickens too much.
