Heat the pot, add the garlic and butter until foaming, add the flour and cook it for about 3 minutes, add the cream, whisk, then the milk, whisk and when the mixture has thickened, add some salt and pepper, add the cheese mix well, taste, correct the seasoning, add the shrimp and the pasta, toss everything together.
