Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp, raw, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for about 3-4 minutes, flipping halfway, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Continue to stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and simmer for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the shrimp are fully coated in the sauce and heated through.
Sprinkle fresh parsley over the shrimp before serving.
Serve the creamy shrimp dish hot, over steamed vegetables or cauliflower rice to keep it keto-friendly.
