Creamy Shrimp with a Kick

I made this yummy dish the other night.  It was a hit with the family, so I thought I'd share the recipe here.

Ingredients:

1 lb raw shrimp, shelled and deveined. 

1/2 cup white wine

1/2 cup sour cream (I use light sour cream)

1 tablespoon chopped garlic

tabasco sauce

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons cornstarch

water

Directions:

Melt the butter over medium heat.  Add the garlic and saute a minute or two.  Reduce the heat to low-medium.  Add the white wine and let it simmer for 15 minutes.  Dissolve the cornstarch in a little water, just enough to make it pourable.  Pour the cornstarch mixture in the pan and stir it up.  Add the shrimp.  Keep stirring until the shrimp is cooked and the sauce it fairly thick, about 5 minutes.  Add the sour cream and stir.  Lower the heat to make sure it doesn't boil.  Add a few shakes of the tabasco sauce.  I used about 10.  That gives it a little kick without making my ears burn.  Add more or less to your liking. 

Serve with pasta or rice.
