Sherry's Scrumptious Shrimp Sauce for Pasta

"Where I live everyone has their own version of a local favorite " shrimp sauce." Served over angel hair pasta it can be a very elegant dinner. I have several variations to this basic recipe. You can use crawfish tails instead of shrimp. Also you can use a nice white wine instead of evaporated milk. Sometimes I add mushrooms...you get the idea!"

  3. This recipe was easy and very delicious. I loved it. If you have kids and if they are picky about spices then I recommend that you don't put the cayenne pepper. It made a lot and we had plenty of leftovers. Thanks Sherry !
