Sauce
  1. 2 tsp unsalted butter
  2. 2 crushed garlic cloves
  3. 1 tsp of flour
  4. 1 tsp onion powder
  5. Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  6. 2 cups whole milk
  7. 4 oz cream cheese
  8. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  9. 1/2 cup shredded Romano cheese
Shrimp
  1. 1 tsp olive oil
  2. 2 tsp cajun seasoning (I use Tony's)
  3. 1 tsp minced garlic
  4. 1 tsp onion powder
  5. 1/2 tsp of smoked paprika
  6. juice from 1/2 of a fresh lemon
  7. fresh basil and parsley
Sauce
  1. Melt butter and sauté garlic in it for 1 min. Don't burn that dang garlic!
  2. Whisk in flour and season the roux with kosher salt, cracked pepper, & onion powder. (Seasoning the roux helps lock in flavor better than waiting to season after adding in liquids.)
  3. Then pour in 2 cups of milk. (Whisk while you pour cause that stuff will clump up on you and that ain't my business.)
  4. Bring that to a simmer and after it thickens a little pour about a cup of it into a bowl
  5. Mix the sauce with half a block of cream cheese until it's smooth.
  6. Pour that back into the saucepan. (Don't be lazy and drop that cream cheese in the pot and try to stir it until it dissolves. The sauce won't be smooth and I'm sensitive about my recipes being ruined. Don't play me like that. Lol)
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan and shredded Romano cheeses.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if need be. This makes enough for 1 lb of pasta.
Shrimp
  1. Toss the shrimp in olive oil and season with Tony's, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, lemon juice, fresh basil, and parsley.
  2. Heat a skillet and sear shrimp until the turn pink. (Please don't overcook your shrimp. As soon as they fully turn pink they're done.)
  3. Enjoy!
Notes
  1. If you're using frozen shrimp that are not wild caught they tend to have a weird texture in comparison to fresh and wild caught frozen shrimp. So, brining them helps a lot and makes them extra juicy. To brine, thaw in cold water then mix equal parts of salt and sugar (1/4 cup of each per lb of shrimp) and add enough water to cover them. Let them soak for 30 mins then drain, pat them dry w/paper towels (important), and season as usual.
  2. As for the pasta, do not rinse your pasta after cooking! The sauce sticks better that way.
