Finely dice 1 red pepper then sauté in ½ T. butter, add ½ oz. Brandy and reduce until flame is gone. Add 6 oz. heavy cream then reduce slowly by ½. Add pinch of salt and white pepper to taste. Mixture should be a little thick. Add diced shrimp, chopped parsley and mix well. Set aside.

In a saucepan, add 2 oz. heavy cream and the pepper puree. Then add salt, pepper and sugar to taste. Reduce on medium heat until the mixture slightly thickens. Hold on warm temp.
