Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 4 tbsp butter (unsalted)
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a little kick)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Preparation Steps

  1. Cook the shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  2. Make the garlic butter sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic!
  3. Add the cream and cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and let it melt into the sauce.
  4. Combine shrimp with sauce: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss it in the creamy garlic butter sauce. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes to ensure everything is well-coated and heated through.
  5. Finish with lemon and seasoning: Add the lemon juice and red pepper flakes (if using) and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon if needed.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately over pasta, rice, or your favorite side dish.
