NOTES : Recipe from Charles at Smugglers Cove, Mukilteo, Washington.
Exciting tales of bootlegging and smuggling surround this restaurant, which was formerly a speakeasy and distillery built in 1929. Today, the excitement here lies in Northwest ingredients cooked in traditional French ways. This innovative take on a classic chicken dish is made with a sauce composed of shrimp, cream, tomatoes and white wine. Serve with steamed rice. Karen's Note: My family loves shrimp so I doubled the amount of shrimp ONLY.
