SHRIMP & VODKA SAUCE ALA MAMMA



1 jar favorite spaghetti sauce or homemade
French chopped Garlic 2-3 cloves
Onion -1/2 medium,  chopped fine
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes, pinch or two
Vodka about a cup ish
Fresh parm cheese 
Butter
Olive oil 
Heavy whipping cream or half & half

Add evoo in pan with finely chopped onion and minced garlic.  Cook til al dente.

Add in your favorite homemade or jar spaghetti sauce and seasonings. Simmer til warmed through. 

*I prefer a smooth sauce,  so you can blend this after you warm it.  

Then.....
I add additional garlic & onion, to the sauce pan,  then add the vodka,  be careful it might sputter.   I used a cup-ish lol 

Then put the blended sauce back in the pan. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. 

Then add a couple tablespoons butter, about 1/4 cup cream and 1/4 cup parm cheese. 

You can add precooked chicken, or fresh shrimp at this point.  Cook til warmed through. 

Taste for salt etc.

So I kind of like the spaghetti sauce without tomato chunks that's why I blend it.  

Then I do the garlic, onion & evoo again then add the sauce back in. Cus I like the chunky onion & garlic.  Make sense?  Lol I'm weird, I know.

Enjoy,  Mamma Maria
