GARLICKY SHRIMP & LOBSTER PASTA
Came up with this one a few summers ago when I wanted to impress a newly acquired "beau". He loved it, I hated him ....I dumped him but kept the recipe. Creamy & cheesy, this one isn't low in calories but it is pretty quick. Basically an Alfredo recipe but really garlic-ed up. I've also made this w/crayfish once & it was just as good.

Steps:
- Prepare Brandy Cream Sauce (see recipe below). Cook pasta in boiling salted water according to the directions on the package; drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking; set aside. Cut the lobster tails in half with kitchen shears and remove the meat from the shell (save the shells for the sauce recipe below); cut the lobster meat into ½ pieces. Season the shrimp and lobster with the salt and pepper while you heat a large skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the oil, mushrooms, shrimp and lobster then sautè and stir until the lobster and shrimp turn opaque (2-3 minutes). Reduce heat to medium and add the brandy cream sauce and green onions; bring to a boil while continuing to stir to prevent scorching the sauce. Add the cooked pasta and continue to heat and stir to thoroughly heat the pasta (add a little extra cream or milk if the sauce becomes too thick while heating the pasta). Serve Hot with a sprinkling of fresh chopped parsley. *Brandy Cream Sauce* ¼ cup of White Wine 4 threads of Saffron 1 tsp Basil, Dried ½ tsp Thyme, Dried Shells from lobster (see pasta recipe) 1 cup Heavy Cream ½ cup of Chicken Broth 1 ¼ tsp Cornstarch 2 tsp Water, cool tap 2 Tbsp Brandy Salt and White Pepper to taste PREPARATION: Combine the cornstarch and cold water in a small cup and set aside. In a 1 quart sauce pan combine the wine, saffron, basil, thyme and lobster shells; bring to a boil and simmer until reduced by half. Add the chicken broth and heavy cream and return to a boil over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch and water mixture then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste with salt and white pepper. Remove from heat and stir in the brandy, then strain out the shells with a fine mesh strainer. Note: If you are peeling your own shrimp for this dish, increase the amount you purchase to 10 oz weight. Also, to create an even richer flavor you can add the shrimp shells in addition to the lobster shells in step 2 above.

GARLICKY SHRIMP PASTA
If you like garlic you will love this! It's a nice and delicious Shrimp/Pasta recipe! Marinate the shrimp while you prepare the remaining ingredients. I usually use Fusilli pasta, also I use the white wine instead of the vermouth. If you prefer to use a garlic press, to mince the garlic that works too. Just be careful not to burn it. Be sure to have some good bread to sop up all the good juices. Adapted from Cooks Illustrated, Nov. 2008 issue. Cook time does not include the marinade time. Hope you enjoy!
