    1. Combine dressing ingredients in small bowl and whisk well.

    Shrimp

    1. Heat 2 Tbsp (30 mL) canola oil into a large non-stick saucepan over medium-high heat. Sear shrimp until the shrimp are just beginning to curl, about 2 – 3 minutes.
    2. Add garlic and brandy. Bring to a boil. Being careful of surroundings, set brandy on fire, using a lighter or match. The flame will quickly die down.
