Saute Onions and Peppers: In a large frypan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped green onion and diced green bell peppers. Saute until tender, releasing their aromatic flavors.
-
Prepare Creamy Base: Stir in the condensed soup and half-and-half cream. Allow the mixture to heat slowly, stirring constantly until it reaches a light boil. This creamy base forms the luscious sauce that will coat the shrimp.

Add Cheese and Seasonings: Once the mixture is gently boiling, add the shredded American cheese, lemon juice, black pepper, dried tarragon, and ground mustard. Stir well to combine, allowing the cheese to melt and the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Incorporate Shrimp: Carefully fold in the cooked shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated in the creamy sauce. Allow the shrimp to heat through, absorbing the delicious flavors of the sauce.
-
Serve: Once heated through, spoon the shrimp thermidor over a bed of cooked white rice. The fluffy rice serves as the perfect canvas for this savory seafood masterpiece.
