Instructions
Instructions:
Sauté the Mushrooms:
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or heat the olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5 minutes.
Add the Langostinos:
- Stir in the cooked langostinos with the mushrooms, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Pour in the Chicken Broth:
- Slowly add the chicken broth to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Incorporate the Sour Cream:
- Reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve:
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired. Serve the gravy over mashed potatoes, rice, or biscuits.
Notes
- For a thicker gravy, let the sauce simmer a bit longer to reduce.
- If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a bit more chicken broth.
- This gravy pairs excellently with roasted vegetables or as a topping for grilled meats.
