Drinking champagne is nice, but have you tried cooking with it? You’ve likely seen chefs cook with red and white wine on your favorite cooking show or foodie social media account, but bubbles are used far less often. Let’s change that by making this Prosecco-Poached Shrimp!
Deliciously acidic and refreshing, champagne, when combined with butter, lemon, herbs and spices creates the perfect bath for poaching Heinen’s fresh shrimp! Cooked for only 2-3 minutes and served over a creamy bed of homemade risotto, this elegant yet easy dish was the designed to be the entrée at every New Year’s Eve dinner party!
