How to Make Sherry's Scrumptious Shrimp Sauce For Pasta

  1. Cook angel hair pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup of finely chopped shallots and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add 1 pound of shrimp (or crawfish tails) and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes per side.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup dry sherry and cook for 1 minute, allowing the alcohol to evaporate slightly.
  5. Stir in 1/2 cup evaporated milk (or dry white wine) and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. If using, add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add a little pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional).
