Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the shrimp with paper towels. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue cooking until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to incorporate.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to warm the shrimp through.
Remove from heat and sprinkle the dish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately over cooked rice, pasta, or with crusty bread for dipping. Enjoy!
