Ingredientes
- 2 cups diced potatoesâI did not peel, blanched until just barely tender
- 3 T olive oil (or more, see directions)
- 5 T butter
- 1 lb button or baby portabella mushrooms (I used the latter), cleaned and cut into quarters or sixths, depending on size
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails still attached (or use crayfish tails, about which I know nothing so my instructions are for shrimp)
- 2 cups peas, frozen are fine
- salt and pepper to taste
- hot sauce (I used Tabasco)
- 1-3 medium shallots, finely diced (to taste, I increased the shallot as we like a lot of onion)
- 1 1/4 cups white wine
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 4-6 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 scallions, finely chopped
