1/2 Lemon (or some Lemon Juice)
1/4 stick Butter
Garlic Clove
8 Shrimps
1 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
about 1 shot of Brandy

If you cut off the end of Garlic cloves.
You can peel them very easily quickly. Now dice up Garlic. Get your Shrimps ready. Rinse under cold water.
SAUTE PROCESS
Take about 1/2 stick of Butter, Shrimp and Garlic and saute on low flame allowing Butter to slowly melt.
Get ready to flambe. Remember, keep your distance and have your hair pulled back. It is safer to flambe from a small container than a large bottle liquor. Pour in the Brandy, and tilt pan towards the flame. (If you are afraid to flambe, just lower the flame and gently pour in the Brandy, and let simmer on low for a few min. If you have an electric stove, use a long match (or a spaghetti noodle that you can light) and touch the flame to the saute.
Allow the flame to dissipate. Alcohol is very combustible, thus by utilizing the process of flambeing, you burn OFF alcohol while allowing the sauce to savor the flavor of the Brandy. Now onto the finishing touches....
FINISHING TOUCHES
Add the Heavy Whipping Cream, increase the flame to high. The Cream will to the top, try to keep it at that level by lowering the flame bit by bit, for a few minutes, this is what makes the sauce thick.
Now, lower flame and simmer for a couple of minutes. Slice a Lemon in half, remove seeds. Squeeze 1/2 a Lemon into Sauce. Dice up 1 slice of Tomato. Drain Pasta and Broccoli, plate Pasta, pour Sauce on top and garnish with Broccoli and diced Tomatoes.
