  •           2 Tbs    Olive Oil, extra virgin
  •           ¼ tsp    Garlic, granulated or 2 gloves fresh finely minced
  •           ¼ tsp    White Pepper ground or to taste
  •          2 cups    Heavy Cream
  •       1½ cups    Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
  •           ½ cup    Parmesan Cheese, shredded
  •            Extra    Parmesan Cheese to add to taste after serving

* Shrimp can be substituted with a can or two of good quality Crab Meat

Directions:

Cook  noodles al dente according to package instructions, set aside and keep warm.

Cut Shrimp into bite size pieces and in a large frying pan fry with butter and garlic until done. Set aside and keep warm.
Wipe out pan if it is too brown, add butter, garlic and olive oil.
Once butter melted, add heavy cream and pepper and under constant stirring bring to a simmer.
Pour in Parmesan cheese and simmer under low to medium heat until melted, 3-5 minutes stirring constantly.
Add Mozzarella and stir until melted.
Scoop in Shrimp and heat. ( Shrimp could be fried in a separate frying pan, while preparing sauce and added to the sauce in the end, that way shrimp does not have to be reheated.)

Serve over noodles, adding Parmesan cheese if so desired.
