  • Total Time: 35
  • Yield: 4

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.

✓ Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

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.
