Shrimp Chippewa

Shrimp Chippewa is an American dish hailing from New Orleans. It was invented by Paul Prudhomme in a restaurant called Commander's Palace. The dish is a simple combination of sautéed shrimp, shallots, mushrooms, and garlic. Other ingredients include butter, chicken broth, and chopped spring onions and parsley.


Although it's technically a soup, shrimp Chippewa is more of a main dish. It's traditionally served with lots of French bread to soak up the garlic and butter sauce. The word Chippewa in the name of the dish refers to Chippewa Street in the Irish Channel.
