2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
8 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed

1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 cups salt water
1 lb medium shrimp

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute.

Add the half-and-half, salt, and pepper.
6
In a small saucepan, bring 2 cups lightly salted water to a boil.
