Instructions
1
In a large frying pan, melt half of the butter or margarine over high heat. If using raw shrimp, add them to the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until they are pink and opaque, stirring constantly. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the pan and set aside.

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter or margarine to the pan. Sauté the finely chopped onion and spring onions for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until they become soft and aromatic, stirring often.
3
Pour in the fresh lemon juice and dry white wine, and bring the mixture to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any bits from the bottom of the pan, allowing the flavors to blend.
4
Lower the heat and stir in the whipping cream. Allow the sauce to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens slightly.
5
Add the whole grain mustard, mixing well until fully incorporated into the creamy sauce.

Return the cooked shrimp to the pan and gently reheat the mixture for about 2 minutes. For previously cooked prawns, add them now to warm through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
