Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 leeks (white and light green parts), cut into half-moons
- 1 fennel bulb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- Add the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring (do not let it darken).
- Stir in the wine, milk, 1 ¼ teaspoons salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Simmer until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and parsley.
