Ingredients
✓ 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
✓ 2 tablespoons olive oil
✓ 4 cloves garlic (minced)
✓ 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
✓ 1 cup heavy cream
✓ 1/2 cup chicken broth (or white wine)
✓ 1 teaspoon lemon juice
✓ 1/2 teaspoon salt
✓ 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
✓ 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
✓ 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
✓ Prepare shrimp by rinsing and removing tails.
✓ Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
✓ Sauté minced garlic until fragrant but not browned.
✓ Add shrimp to the skillet and cook on one side for 2-3 minutes.
✓ Combine heavy cream, chicken broth (or white wine), lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
✓ Pour the cream mixture into the skillet and reduce heat to medium-low.
✓ Simmer the sauce for about 5-7 minutes or until thickened.
✓ Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Notes
Ensure the pan is fully heated before adding ingredients to prevent sticking. Simmering too long can cause the cream to curdle, so keep a close eye on the sauce’s consistency.
