Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Optional: Crusty bread rice, or pasta for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Cook the Shrimp: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Make the Sauce: Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Combine: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the creamy garlic sauce. Heat through for 1-2 minutes.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Pair with crusty bread, steamed rice, or pasta to soak up the delicious sauce.
