1/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/8 c minced shallot

Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly spray a quiche pan with non-stick cooking spray
In a large skillet, heat the oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat. Add
the shallots and garlic and saute for 1 minute. Stir in the seasoning mix. Add shrimp and

Add remaining tablespoon butter to pan and when melted, whisk in flour. Do not allow
flour to brown. Whisk in the milk and cream and cook, whisking constantly, until mixture
begins to thicken, 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and 1/2 cup of the jack cheese
Remove from heat and spoon sauce evenly over shrimp.
Place in oven and bake 15 minutes or until brown and bubbly. Serve over rice or pasta.
