Ingredients

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

0.5 cup thinly sliced shallots

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined

salt and pepper to taste

1 dash dried red pepper flakes

0.25 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and diced

0.5 cup cognac

0.5 cup fat free half-and-half

Directions

In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium-high heat. Add garlic and shallots, cooking until lightly browned.

Add shrimp, seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes, and cook, occasionally stirring, until the shrimp are beginning to brown (about 5 minutes).

Pour cognac into the skillet, loosening any brown bits from the bottom. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, adding half-and-half. Simmer until slightly thickened (about 5 minutes).

Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for extra flavor.
