Curious About Shrimp Marsala? Here Are Some FAQs
Fancy some pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice? Our Shrimp Marsala pairs well with all. And if you're looking for a low-carb option, roasted veggies are your best bet.
Yes, indeed! You can prepare the sauce beforehand and simply add the shrimp when you're ready to serve.
No worries! You can swap it with another fortified wine like Madeira or dry sherry. If you prefer non-alcoholic, grape juice mixed with a bit of brandy extract works too.
Switching Things Up: Substitutions and Variations
Don't have all the ingredients? Or simply want to experiment? Here are some ideas:
- Shrimp: If colossal shrimp is hard to find, regular-sized ones work too. Just remember, they cook a bit faster.
- Mushrooms: Not a fan of cremini? Go for button or portobello instead. Feeling fancy? Wild mushrooms it is!
- Dairy-free: Simply skip the heavy cream or replace it with non-dairy milk like almond or coconut.
- Gluten-free: Use gluten-free flour options like rice flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
