How To Make shrimp alfredo
-
Step 1Get a large pot add some sea salt and the oil to it and bring it to a boil.

Step 2While the water is heating, in a large frying pan melt the butter on low. Add the shallot and garlic. When tender add the prepared shrimp, tossing often.

Step 3In a smaller fry pan on low flame, add the 2 sticks of butter. Once melted add 1 tsp. of corn starch or arrowroot flour, once it is combined, add the cream and stir, bring to a very low simmer until thickened.
