1/4 onion chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup vodka
10 oz heavy cream

salt
red pepper flakes
In a large saute pan add oil and onions cook until tender add garlic
Chop tomatoes and remove seeds add and cook for 20 minutes or until juice is reduced by half
add vodka and cook until alcohol evaporates
slowly add cream and stir until heated thru
(Also, if you want, add chopped cooked shrimp or crab meat.)
