Creamed Peas

My Dad requested meatloaf, mashed potatoes and one of his favorite side dishes, creamed peas. I wanted to update these a little bit but still keep them simple. I normally hate peas but when they were smothered with cream they tasted delicious! haha

Ingredients

1 lb bag frozen peas thawed
1 small shallot thinly slice
1 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper
pat of butter

Directions:

1. Place thinly sliced shallot into a saute pan with some melted butter over medium low heat. Allow to cook until transclucent, stirring often so they don't fry or burn.

2. Once the shallot is cooked add the peas and a pinch of salt and pepper and saute for one minute until heated through.

3. Add cream and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the consistency is to your liking and then serve warm.
