  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 pound medium raw shrimp, deveined and peeled (tails can be left on or off)

– Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

– 1 tablespoon neutral oil (such as avocado, olive, or refined coconut oil)

– 2 tablespoons butter

– 4 cloves garlic, minced

– Β½ cup dry white wine (or substitute with seafood, chicken, or vegetable stock for a non-alcoholic version)

– 1 cup heavy cream at room temperature

– Β½ teaspoon salt (adjustable)

– ΒΌ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (adjustable)

– ΒΎ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese at room temperature

– Finely chopped fresh parsley to taste

Instructions

1-Getting started with Creamy Garlic Herb Shrimp is straightforward, and following these steps will help you create a tasty dish every time. Begin by seasoning the shrimp on both sides with salt and pepper, which adds the right amount of flavor from the start.

2-Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then place the shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes. Flip them and cook for another minute until they’re opaque and curled into a ‘J’ shape, then remove and set aside to keep them tender.

3-Reduce the heat to medium, melt the butter in the same skillet, and sautΓ© the minced garlic for about 30 seconds until it’s fragrant. Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, stirring and scraping up the browned bits while letting the liquid reduce by half for extra depth.

4-Lower the heat to medium-low, remove the pan from the heat, add the heavy cream, stir it in, and return to the heat for a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally. Season with more salt and pepper if needed, then remove from heat and gradually stir in the grated parmesan until it melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about a minute.

5-Add the chopped parsley for a fresh touch, then return the shrimp to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Serve immediately over choices like rice or cauliflower rice to keep things balanced.

Notes

🍀 Avoid overcooking shrimp to keep them tender and juicy – remove from heat as soon as they turn pink and curl into a J shape
πŸ§„ Use fresh, high-quality ingredients like freshly grated parmesan and fresh garlic for the best flavor and texture
🌑️ For a keto-friendly option, substitute broth for wine and avoid prepackaged grated parmesan to prevent a grainy sauce
