Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant; do not let it brown.
  5. Pour in the white wine or broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it begins to thicken slightly.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth.
  8. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat the shrimp in the sauce and heat through for 1 minute.
  9. Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serve this creamy garlic shrimp over cooked linguine or with crusty bread for dipping.
  • For added color and flavor, add 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes or a handful of fresh spinach during the last minute of cooking.
