A Word About Blue Cheese
Cleaning Shrimp for Blue Fin Pasta
Please, please, please make sure your shrimp is deveined. Did you know that the vein in the back of a shrimp is its intestinal tract? Shrimp poop! No thank you! Additionally, some people, like me, are allergic to the sand vein. It makes me wonder if maybe a lot of people who think they are allergic to shrimp are only allergic to the sand vein. Regardless, no one wants to eat poop, so please make sure the shrimp is deveined.Email Me the Recipe

Instructions
- Mise En Place
- 1 pound FettucciniPut the pasta on to boil. If you are conserving water, don't salt it.
- 1 cup BroccoliSteam the broccoli until it's tender but still crisp. If the pasta is not al dente by that time, remove the broccoli from the heat and set it aside.
- 2 cloves Garlic, 1 tablespoon unsalted butterWhile that is happening, in a saute pan, saute garlic in the butter until it turns translucent. Don't let it burn.
- 1 pound Shrimp, 1/4 cup White wineAdd the shrimp and saute them until they are nicely pink and have started to curl up. Deglaze the pan with the wine. Don't let the shrimp curl completely. Remove them from the pan and set aside, keeping them warm. Leave the liquid in the pan.
- 2 tablespoon FlourAdd the flour to the saute pan and mix it in until it starts turning white.
- 1/2 cup Cream, 1/2 cup Milk, 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay SeasoningAdd the cream and milk, Old Bay seasoning, and stir until the mixture thickens. If it doesn't get thick enough, add a little more flour.
- 2 tablespoon Blue cheese, 2 tablespoon ParmesanWhen the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, add the blue cheese and parmesan and let them melt, thoroughly mixing it in.
- Add the shimp back in and coat them nicely with the sauce.
- 1/4 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon BasilAdd the broccoli, half of the chiffonaded basil, and sun-dried tomatoes and toss to get everything coated in the sauce.
- 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper, 2 tablespoon Parmesan, 1 tablespoon BasilIn a large pasta serving bowl, add the shrimp mixture, toss and garnish with the remaining basil, freshly ground black pepper, and some shaved parmesan
