Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 0.5 cup fat free half-and-half
• 0.5 cup cognac

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic and shallots until lightly browned. Add shrimp and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shrimp begin to brown, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Pour cognac into the skillet. Stir to loosen brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook until the mixture boils. Reduce heat to low, add half-and-half, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
