Would turkey gravy taste good with shrimp?

Question

I'm trying to make a dish here that would involve White Rice, Shrimp, Vegetables, and I was thinking turkey gravy... would that taste good with a combo of shrimp?

I don't feel like doing chicken.

And would I cook the shrimp separate from the rice, veggies, and gravy?

Answer 1

eh...it might taste good to someone really hungry.  I'd consider other options.  You could just sautee the shrimp in olive oil and squeeze the juice of a lemon over it.  Or even some salt and pepper & butter on the shrimp.

Answer 2

DEFINTELY cook the shrimp separately.  Always cook shrimp until it is just cooked.  If you stew it the shrimp will be chewy and your dish will be fishy (fish and turkey would not be a great combo).

You could make this a stir fry with a teriaki sauce (soy sauce brown sugar and a little garlic.  Or make it a scampi with butter and garlic.

Whatever you do, cook the shrimp and then warm it in the sauce at the last minute.

Answer 3

NO NO NO

use butter lemon and garlic only

Answer 4

What on earth are you making? I've never heard of using a gravy from one animal to flavor another.

To answer your question: it might taste okay, but depending on how you make your gravy, the flavor might overpower that of the more delicate shrimp. Since gravy has its base in a roux, made of flour and fat (in this case, chicken or turkey) it has a much stronger flavor than a broth would.

Does the original dish call for chicken instead of shrimp, or does it call for chicken gravy instead of turkey gravy? If it calls for chicken gravy and you would rather use turkey, there will be a slight difference, but not a huge one. If it calls for chicken and chicken gravy instead of shrimp, then there will be a big difference and you should not expect it to taste anything like it does with the chicken.

I would not try to season and cook shrimp like poultry.  

Answer 5

No use BBQ sauce instead.  It is super simple to make a homemade BBQ sauce if you need too.  Try grilling as a shush ka bob using the shrimp and veggies.  Serve over rice.

Answer 6

No, probably not.

Use bbq or teriyaki, or make a concoction of:

butter, lemon, tomatoes and garlic with a dash of sugar and glaze that on.

Answer 7

no i would use a white cream sauce or a creole tomato sauce
