Ingredients:

Serving

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

Directions:

Put your pot of water on to boil your favorite pasta.
Peel & devein shrimp while melting 1 tablespoon butter & 1 tablespoon olive oil over low heat in skillet large enough to hold the shrimp.
Press 2 cloves of garlic into butter/oil mixture & gently sauté, low enough heat not to brown garlic.Add cayenne & salt to skillet.
Add shrimp & raise heat enough to hear the shrimp sizzle. Sauté 5 minutes stirring often or until the shrimp begin to turn opaque and brighten - but not until they become white and firm yet.
Take off heat & mix in the parsley and pepper.
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!
Add the cream cheese in 3 or 4 chunks & stir until melted.
Add the nutmeg & the Parmigiano, stirring well.
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.
