Notes

  • PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make sure to get peeled, deveined shrimp, ow life will be miserable. 
  • Don't buy pre-shredded parmeasean, ts sucks. You can quickly shred it in a blender if needed. 
  • The sauce coagulates quickly, and you can't bring it back just by heating. If reheating, add in more heavy cream. The whole dish will take an extra 1 cup of heavy cream to restore.
