Instructions
1
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
2
Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until they turn opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and keep them warm.
3
In the same skillet, add the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and the sliced baby portabella mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms for 5 minutes, until they are tender and lightly browned.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk, all-purpose flour, dry sherry, and egg yolk until smooth.
5
Pour the milk mixture into the sautéed mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly with a whisk, until the sauce thickens.
6
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and stir in the kosher salt, ground red pepper, and black pepper. Mix well until the shrimp are heated through.
7
While the shrimp mixture is warming, toast the whole wheat bread slices until golden brown. Cut each slice in half diagonally to create toast points.
8
On two plates, arrange 4 toast triangles each. Spoon 1 1/2 cups of the shrimp mixture over the toast points, and garnish with chopped fresh chives.
