Fat Free Half and Half - 1 Cup
Light Margarine - 2 TBSP

Shrimp - peeled and deveined cocktail shrimp (about 8 cut up into pieces)
53 calories

Melt the butter over medium heat and add the half and half, salt and pepper, and four cloves crushed. Bring to a boil. As soon as it bubbles add parmesan and whisk quickly. Lower heat and put a TBSP of corn starch in separate bowl (I just used measuring cup from half and half). Then spoon a little of the hot cream sauce into the bowl. Mix well then whisk into sauce. Let hang out for 5-10 minutes on low stirring frequently, until it thickens.
Cut up and warm shrimp in a small saute pan quickly with seasonings of your choice. Creole is good here. Grab your favorite pasta bowl and add pasta, sauce and shrimp.
Portion control is key here!!
