Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup almonds, sliced
2 tablespoons Amaretto
2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 chicken bouillon cube, crushed

Steps:

In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter and brown the almonds until golden brown; be very careful as they will burn quickly.
As soon as the almonds are nicely browned, add the Amaretto; be extremely careful as it should and will flame up for about 10 seconds or so.
After about 30 to 40 seconds you will have very little liquid in the pan (it will be dark brown).
Add the cream, tomato paste, and the crushed bouillon cube and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a rolling simmer and reduce by half (about 12 minutes) stirring often.
The finished sauce should have a beige, ever so slight pink color and coat the back of a spoon.
NOTE: If the Amaretto doesn't flare up in the pan, don't worry! Your sauce will be fine.

ALMOND SHRIMP WITH AMARETTO BUTTER

Almond Shrimp with Amaretto Butter image

A fabulous, romantic dish for two - and it's quick and easy! I adapted the recipe from a Junior League of Lafayette, LA recipe; they say that it is the creation of Sous Chef Bryan Richard of Chez Marcelle. The original recipe calls for an entire stick of butter, but I think you'll agree that 3 tbsp. is plenty. If you like Amaretto, you'll love this! It can be served with angel hair pasta, but I like to eat it without so as not to interfere with the delicious flavors.
