Cheatin' Seafood Newburg


OK, I just have to write this one down before I forget what I have done. I was trying to fix something a little different for Hong Ju Lee AKA "Edgar" an exchange student from Seoul, South Korea who is living with me. He said he likes shrimp and I had some frozen shrimp that is already cooked- (The kind you just run under water until defrosted, add the sauce and instant shrimp cocktail.) This would be great with any seafood. I didn't have what I needed to make this so I improvised and it was probably better than the original.


Ingredients: * means these are estimates- I rarely measure- Sorry!
Seafood of your choice- I used shrimp, but scallops, firm fish (tuna steak, fresh salmon, etc.), lobster, etc. will all work
*1/2-2/3 cup of sour cream- depending on how you like the flavor it adds
*1/2 cup white wine
*1/4-1/2 teaspoon pepper
*1 teaspoon dill weed- I just realized that I DO like dill!- I will quit tossing out the dill I grow!**
1 Tablespoon lemon juice- not concentrated
1 can of peas- drained
1 can cream of chicken soup- undiluted- this is where I am saving some time.

Directions:
1. Gently mix everything but the seafood above in a sauce pan stirring frequently.
2. Prepare seafood (for me that was running the shrimp under hot water.)
3. Prepare rice, wide noodles, toast or a plain pastry- your choice, I used wide egg noodles.
4. Put your choice from #3 on the plate, top with choice of seafood, smoother with sauce!

** I grow dill amongst my herbs and flowers every summer for the flower, not the tiny leaves. I have never been a huge fan of dill, but this recipe convinced me to start saving dill and enjoying all year long!
