CHEF’s TIP!

Entrée can easily be made a la minute by portioning out ingredients per serving size and finishing the final dish at service.

Portions per serving: 1 Tbsp scallion whites, 1/4 tsp garlic, 1 Tbsp olive oil, 5 each shrimp (4 oz if using a smaller count), 2 oz andouille, 3 oz heavy cream, 1 Tbsp parmesan, 1 tsp lemon juice.

If using a smaller sized shrimp be mindful not to over cook.
