1 lb. of medium shrimps, with tail, peeled and seasoned
2 tbsp. of olive oil
Fresh parsley to decorate

¼ cup of butter
3 gloves of garlic, minced
¼ cup of all-purpose flour
3 cups of Tres Monjitas® Fresh Milk
¼ cup of parmesan cheese
Pinch of ground nutmeg
1 ¼ tsp. of salt
Pepper to taste
PROCEDURE
Prepare the pasta: In a saucepan, pour 8 cups of water and salt to taste. Heat up the water until boiling. Toss in the pasta and cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Prepare the sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter, add the garlic and cook for a couple of minutes until translucent. Add the all-purpose flour and mix until a doughy mixture is formed. Gradually add the Tres Monjitas® Fresh Milk. Add the parmesan cheese, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Cook for 4-6 minutes at medium heat.
Prepare the shrimps: In a deep skillet, drizzle in olive oil. When it heats up, add the shrimp and sauté for various minutes. Add the sauce and pasta. Sauté and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Tip: Prepare the sauce beforehand and store in the fridge, it will last 3 to 4 days. Once in the fridge, it will gain a creamier consistency and, when heated, it will be smoother and lighter.
You can serve it with long or short pasta, gnocchi and even serve it with chicken or your favorite seafood.
