When I left the house this morning, I had decided that cod would make a nice supper, with some new potatoes, corn on the cob and a watermelon-cucmber salad. Â I thought about frying the fish, or poaching it with milk and onions. I finally decided to steam it and serve it with a shrimp white sauce. A quick meal, that would take less than half an hour.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- dash of salt and pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup cooked shrimp
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
- 1 green onion, chopped
Melt the butter, and stir the flour  into it, making a paste. Gradually stir in the milk, until it is smooth. Add the salt and pepper. Cook in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir with a wire whisk until smooth. Cook in the microwave on high for another 30 seconds. Stir with a wire whisk until smooth. Cook in the microwave on high for an further  30 seconds. Stir with a wire whisk until smooth. At this point you will have to decide if the sauce needs another 30 seconds, or if it thick enough. If thick enough, stir in the cooked shrimps and parsley. Serve over the fish.
