Shrimp Paesano Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	April13 / All my dishes 5 months, 3 weeks ago This is my version of a shrimp dish from a restaurant called Paesano's. The sauce is what makes the meal! Use it more like a dressing for the shrimp and/or pasta. Prep:30m Cook:15m Servings:3	April13

Ingredients

1 lb shrimp; deveined & de-shelled

1 quart half & half

Olive Oil (frying)

Flour (coating)

1 egg yolk

1 1/2 lb. butter; cut in slices (3 sticks)

2 garlic cloves; finely minced

2 pinches parsley; finely chopped

1 medium lemon; juice only

Chives; chopped (optional)

1 package of angel hair (optional; amount depends on serving size since main dish was really the shrimp)

Directions

--angel hair-- Cook according to package

--shrimp-- Preheat oven 400 degrees

Soak shrimp in half & half for at least 10 minutes (longer is OK)

Drain and roll shrimp in flour; saute in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes (do not turn shrimp)

Remove shrimp and place in baking dish (sauteed side down) and turn oven to broil; broil 5 minutes

--sauce-- Mix egg yolk, lemon juice & 1/2 of the butter (1 1/2 sticks) and whisk over low heat until melted; take off heat

Add garlic and rest of butter and stir briskly until butter melts.

Place back on heat and add some half & half (depends on the thickness you would like) to thicken sauce and continue to whisk.

Add parsley & chives and mix. (Personally, I like it without the chives but if you would like it, a few pinches would work). If leaving sauce on heat, make sure to keep it low and whisk occasionally to prevent curdling. Also, if you're not a fan of having tiny pieces of garlic in sauce or even the herbs, you can strain them out. I normally do out of habit.
