Well, tonight was a meal all for me since my husband is in Florida taking an exam. I rushed to the store and got the goodies. LOL I was so excited to make this dish cause I love all these items and my new found love of cookin' with cognac and pancetta just put it over the top with flavor. I didn't have anyone to share this with so I will rely on you all to share whether you like my one of a kind creation. I really loved how the wavy kale held the sauce. I love taking a bite and getting a nice bite of the creamy cognac sauce with shrooms and shrimp too.

    Saute your onions, pancetta for 5 or so minutes in butter and then add your chopped kale, garlic, baby bellas, and tomatoes. Add some of your cognac and cook for about 15 minutes with a lid on. Stirring occasionally & then add your tomato paste & remaining cognac. (If you need to you add a little water if necessary). Next, add your shrimp to cook through and your cream and sour cream to the sauce. It should be about 5 -7 minutes depending on the size of shrimp. Add your salt and pepper to taste as well.
