1. Sauté the Aromatics:

– In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent.

– Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Cook the Shrimp:

– Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook them in the sauce for 4-5 minutes, or until they are pink and cooked through.

5. Brighten the Flavors:

– Stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors, then remove the skillet from the heat.

6. Serve and Garnish:

– Serve the Shrimp Newburg over cooked rice or in puff pastry shells.

– Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes:

– For a richer flavor, you can substitute some of the milk with additional cream.

– This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
