Serves 4. Creamy Garlic Shrimp With Parmesan is a deliciously easy Shrimp Recipe! Coated in a rustic and buttery sauce ready in less than 10 minutes with ingredients you might already have in your fridge.
- 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 mixed with 2 tablespoons of Margot's Morsels Killer Garlic broken, chopped or crushed for added crunch
Heat oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the 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.
*Use a good quality dry white wine such as a Pinot Grio or Chardonnay. White wine can also be substituted for chicken broth or left out completely. The flavor in the sauce will be altered.
**I use reduced fat cream (or light cream) for this recipe. Substitute with half and half if you wish, being careful not to bring the sauce to a boil or it may curdle. You can also use evaporated milk as a low calorie substitution. Heavy or thickened cream may also be used. Allow cream to reduce in a gentle simmer until thickened to your liking.
