Recipe - Brandied-Basil Cream Sauce

2 cup Heavy cream
One half cup Cognac or brandy
12 Fresh basil leaves; chopped
1 cup Shrimp stock
One half cup Grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and white pepper; to
taste

Bring heavy cream, cognac, basil leaves and stock to a boil. Reduce mixture
to preferred consistency. Add Parmesan cheese, stirring to melt, and remove
from the heat.

NOTES : Chef's Note: Use Minor's shrimp base to make the shrimp stock or
make your own shrimp stock by boiling together and reducing by 2/3 the
following ingredients: shells from 5 pounds of shrimp, 1 peeled Bermuda
onion studded with 8 whole cloves, 3 bay leaves, 2 tablespoons whole black
peppercorns, and 5 quarts of water.
