Creamy Shrimp with a Touch of Spirits

Ingredients for 3 people

700 g shrimp (fresh or frozen) - about 1,5 pound

Crème fraîche (3 TBSP)

Cilantro

3 cl strong alcohol of your choice (I use Cognac)

Directions

1. Brown the shrimp in butter

2. Add the alcohol and let it simmer for 3 minutes

3. Add the cream

4. Let simmer for 2 additional minutes (4 minutes if they were frozen)

5. Juste before serving add the chopped cilantro

Serve with rice or veggies or salad. The dish is briefly cooked with cognac, which adds its rich flavor. Only a tiny amount of alcohol remains in each serving, just enough to enhance the taste.
