Creamy Shrimp


This version of Shrimp Scampi is creamy and delicious.  Actually it was made by accident when I added some cream to my shrimp....but it was worth it!

Creamy Shrimp

1 pkg. medium shrimp (the pre-cooked kind that has been de-tailed and de-veined)
1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 Tbsp. sea salt
1 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. dill
1 tsp. lemon juice
3 Tbsp. real butter

In a deep skillet, melt butter.  Add shrimp, lemon juice, salt, pepper and dill and stir for about 3 minutes.  Immediately add the evaporated milk.  The milk will cook down rather quickly and get thick.  You are ready to serve!  Don't overcook...if the mixture doesn't get thick quickly enough, you can add a bit of a slurry

Slurry:  1/4 cup water + 2 heaping Tbsp. cornstarch.  Drizzle a little bit in at a time until it is the desired consistency

Quick and easy but oh so good!
