Creamy Garlic Shrimp

Ingredients 

 

 1   tablespoon   olive oil 

 1   pound   (500 grams) shrimp,   tails on or off 

 Salt and pepper,   to taste 

 2   tablespoons   unsalted butter 

 6   cloves   garlic   minced 

 1/2   cup   dry white wine*   or chicken broth 

 1 1/2   cups   reduced fat cream** 

 1/2   cup   fresh grated Parmesan cheese 

 2   tablespoons   fresh chopped parsley 

 

 Directions 

 

 

 Heat oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until just cooked through and pink. 

 

 

 Transfer to a bowl; set aside. 

 

 

 Melt the butter in the same skillet. 

 

 

 Saute garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). 

 

 

 Pour in the white wine or broth; allow to reduce to half while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan. 

 

 

 Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally. 

 

 

 Season with salt and pepper to your taste. 

 

 

 Add the Parmesan cheese and allow sauce to gently simmer for a further minute or so until the cheese melts and sauce thickens. 

 

 

 Add the shrimp back into the pan, sprinkle with parsley. 

 

 

 Taste test sauce and adjust salt and pepper, if needed. 

 

 

 Serve over pasta, rice or steamed veg.
