4 tablespoons butter

1 (12- to 16-ounce) can cream of coconut

1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk

Cook pasta and shrimp per directions on packages. While they are cooking, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a small skillet. Add cream of coconut and bring to a light boil. Stir in about 1/2 can evaporated milk and bring back to a light boil. Stir in cornstarch and cook until thickened. Add additional evaporated milk to thin, if needed.
