Add shrimp and stir until they turn opaque; this should happen pretty quickly. Immediately remove from stovetop, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
5
Boil Pasta
6
Bring large heavy pot of well-salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook just until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain pasta, toss with 2 TB olive oil, cover to keep warm, and set aside.

Whisk Roux

Over low heat, melt the butter in the now-empty pasta pot. Add flour and whisk mixture constantly for at least ⏱️ 2 minutes or until it’s smooth.

Add Milk
10
Very slowly add the milk, half and half, and chicken broth. Turn heat to medium-low and continue to stir constantly until sauce is smooth and creamy, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Take your time to ensure the sauce is not grainy; it should become thickened and smooth.
