Instructions

1

Clean and devein shrimp. important to buy large shrimp (16-20 count)  Soak in half and half for 30 minutes.

2

Drain and dredge in flour.

3

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat. You don't want the oil to smoke, so adjust the heat accordingly.

4

Once the oil starts to shimmer, add the shrimp and sauté about 2-3 minutes per side. Be sure to spread out the shrimp in the pan, and depending on the size of your pan, you may need to cook the shrimp in batches.

5

In a heavy saucepan, mix egg yolk and lemon juice. Add 1/2 butter and stir constantly over very low heat until melted. Add garlic and rest of butter; stir briskly until butter melts and sauce thickens. If you find the spoon isn't mixing it well, then use a whisk to fully incorporate all the ingredients.

6

Remove sauce from heat and stir in parsley and chives.

7

In a large bowl, add the pasta and sauce and toss to mix thoroughly.

8

Spoon pasta into 4 bowls and top with the shrimp. Garnish with extra parsley.

    You’re leaving out quite a few ingredients such as the half and half the flour, the spaghetti and the oil
