Shrimp Alfredo

WARNING: this is NOT a healthy meal, but if  you feel the urge to indulge yourself... this is where its at!
and no you didn't have to go to Olive Garden!!

<I ended up making too much sauce tonight, darn now i will have to serve it with some grilled chicken and pasta in the next week or 2. >

Alfredo:

1/2 c butter
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 c heavy cream
1/2-1 c milk (depends on how thick you want)
1/2 c Parmesan
1 garlic glove chopped
pepper

Melt Butter w garlic, add cream cheese- and mix until it is blended. Then add your cream, 1/2 cup milk to start, and Parmesan bring it just to a simmer. pepper to taste. Now if it is TOO thick add more milk.

SHRIMP-
I took 1 pound of shrimp peeled and tails off...

in a skillet i put about 1 tsp of butter and 1 garlic gloved (chopped) brought it to a good medium- high heat and threw the shrimp in- i cooked them only until they were pink and "curled"

I had a Vermicelli pasta and simply cooked it to package direction-

when it was done, i poured desired amount of sauce on it and stirred, plated it and put the shrimp on top- then i sprinkled just a little bit of basil on.
