Instructions:
-
In a saucepan, combine the chicken broth and shallots, then bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Reduce the heat to a simmer, covering the saucepan, and let it cook for about 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Stir in the whipping cream and brandy, and continue to simmer the mixture, uncovered, for approximately 10 minutes, or until it has reduced to about 1 cup in volume, resulting in a rich and creamy sauce.
-
Gradually add the unsalted butter to the sauce, one piece at a time, whisking continuously until each piece is fully incorporated, creating a velvety smooth texture.
-
Stir in the lemon juice and white pepper, infusing the sauce with a hint of brightness and gentle warmth.
-
Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat, and sauté the large shrimp for about 4 minutes, or until they turn pink and opaque, ensuring they are cooked through.
-
Once the shrimp are cooked, add the prepared sauce to the skillet, heating it through gently to combine all the flavors.
-
Serve the Brandy Cream Shrimp immediately, garnished with freshly chopped chives for a burst of color and additional freshness.
