Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 1 cup dry champagne or sparkling wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then cook in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent.
Pour in the champagne, stirring to deglaze the pan and scrape up any browned bits. Bring the champagne to a simmer and let it reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and slowly stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce simmer for another 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the champagne sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
