this century's version of creamed peas

I love peas.

Like, love, love peas.

They have been a part of my food love language since I was a kid.

My grandmother always made creamed peas with pearl onions on thanksgiving.

Our favorite and staple meal was kraft mac n cheese, with peas, and blueberry muffins.

I throw peas in everything.

But turning this pea and shallot dish into an entertaining worthy side dish thanks to a modified burre blanc? Might be my own personal genius moment.
