1. Heat large skillet over moderate heat. Add oil, butter, garlic and onion (shallots too if you use them). If shallots are used saute for 3-5 minutes. Add vodka to the pan, 3 turns in a steady stream around the pan will equal about 1 cup. Reduce vodka by half, this will take 2-3 minutes. Add stock and tomatoes. Bring sauce to a bubble an reduce heat to simmer. Season with salt, pepper and cayenne. Add capers and heat.
2. Stir in cream and shrimp. When sauce returns to a bubble remove from head. Serve with your favorite pasta. Add basil leaves as garnish.
