Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Flour
Thickens the sauce as it cooks with the fat and liquids.
Evaporated milk
Forms the creamy body of the sauce and thickens as it reduces gently.
Shallots and garlic
Build a savory aromatic base in the cooking oil.
Coarse dijon mustard
Adds sharp, tangy flavor that defines the sauce.
Shrimp
Provides the main protein; it is already cooked, so it only needs warming through.

The step that matters

Cook until thickened. The flour needs time over heat to swell and gelatinize, so the sauce thickens fully. Stopping early leaves it thin, while overcooking can make it stiff or grainy.

Swap the clove

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (olive, shallot, garlic, flour, white wine, chicken, milk):

  1. Thymefits better
  2. Capersfits better
  3. Tarragonfits better
  4. Clovethe original

Fit is the average pairing score against olive, shallot, garlic, flour, white wine, chicken, milk. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes.
