Jennifer's Seafood in Garlic Cream Sauce


Butter
Onions
Broccoli
Carrots
Snow peas
Red pepper
3/4 cup crab
1 pound shrimp (50 to 60 sized)
Pepper
Lemon juice

Sauce:
Butter
Garlic
Heavy cream
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups shredded white cheddar
1/4 cup white wine


Saute onions in butter.
Add broccoli, carrots, snow peas, red pepper, whatever, chopped fairly small to saute quickly and retain colour.

In another sauce pan make sauce. Saute garlic (as much as you like) in butter until soft. Add cream.
Beat two egg yolks, temper with the hot cream and add back to sauce and whisk.
Add 1 1/2 cups of your favourite shredded cheese. I used aged white cheddar.
Stir until thickened and creamy.
Add 1/4 cup white wine and simmer for a couple of minutes.

Add 3/4 cup of crab (Costco) and as much shrimp (I like the 50-60 size) as you want to the veggies and toss to warm up.

Top with the sauce and garnish with fresh ground pepper, a wee splash of lemon juice, and any other seasoning you want.

Devour.

Update: I tried to thicken the sauce using Almond Flour, as an experiment. Almond Flour does not thicken things, probably because it has no starch. Instead it gave the whole recipe a weird mealy consistency which neither I nor my roommate cared for. I am probably going to throw away the leftovers. Warning: Don't thicken things with Almond Flour.
