Servings: persons

1 lb shrimp, NC fresh, 21-26 count
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 garlic cloves, pressed
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup parsley, chopped (flat leaf if available)
3/4 teaspoon black pepper, coarsely ground
3 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup whipping cream
12 ounces evaporated milk
2 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, freshly grated
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated

1
Put your pot of water on to boil your favorite pasta.
2
Peel & devein shrimp while melting 1 tablespoon butter & 1 tablespoon olive oil over low heat in skillet large enough to hold the shrimp.
3
Press 2 cloves of garlic into butter/oil mixture & gently saute, low enough heat not to brown garlic.Add cayenne & salt to skillet.
4
Add shrimp & raise heat enough to hear the shrimp sizzle. Saute 5 minutes stirring often or until the shrimp begin to turn opaque and brighten - but not until they become white and firm yet.
5
Take off heat & mix in the parsley and pepper.
6
Melt the remaining butter in a 1 quart saucepan. Add the cream & evaporated milk. Reduce the mixture by 1/3 over medium heat, stirring constantly (I use a smaller sized whisk for this). It will boil & that is OK - just keep stirring!
7
Add the cream cheese in 3 or 4 chunks & stir until melted.
8
Add the nutmeg & the Parmigiano, stirring well.
9
Pour thickened sauce over shrimp in skillet & simmer a few minutes on low heat while you drain your pasta. Use some of the sauce to dress the pasta, then serve with additional sauce & plenty of shrimp.
