Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up this delightful dish:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
If you’re out of chicken broth, vegetable broth works as a great substitute. And for a dairy-free option, coconut cream can replace the heavy cream, giving the dish a slightly different yet delightful twist.
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side until they’re pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and lemon juice. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the creamy sauce until they are well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Pro tip: If the sauce is too thick for your liking, add a splash more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
