Ingredients:

• 2 cups 2% milk
• 4 ounces cream cheese

3. Cook 3-5 minutes, until pink, and just barely cooked through
4. Remove shrimp from pan, leave garlic and butter drippings in saucepan
5. Add milk mixture to the pan, and stir for 4 minutes on medium heat. Bring to a simmer, and keep stirring for about 6 more minutes until is starts to thicken.
6. Remove from heat, add grated cheese and Parmesan
7. Cover, let stand for about 5 minutes.
8. Add shrimp into sauce and let stand another 5 minutes
9. Serve over noodles of choice, I chose fettuccine. (1 lb package is sufficient)
10. Garnish with some dried parsley

NOTES:

• Rinse your shrimp well in a colander before cooking so you don’t get a “fishy” taste in your sauce.
• Stir the garlic so it doesn’t burn. If it gets too brown it will be bitter.
• Keep stirring when you pour the milk mixture in, you don’t want it to burn.
• Use a heavy bottomed pot to help reduce the likelihood of scorched milk.
• If you don’t eat all of it in one sitting, when reheating add milk to get to the desired consistency as it will get thicker!
