Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound Shrimp tails on or off
- ¼ teaspoon salt to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
- 1 ½ cups reduced fat cream
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grates
- 2 tablespoons parsley fresh, chopped
Instructions
- Heat oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 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.
- Melt the butter in the same skillet. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the white wine or broth; allow to reduce to half while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Add the parmesan cheese and allow sauce to gently simmer for a further minute or so until the cheese melts and sauce thickens.
- Add the shrimp back into the pan, sprinkle with parsley. Taste test sauce and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
- Serve over pasta, rice or steamed veg.

Notes
- *Use a good quality dry white wine such as a pinot griot or chardonnay.
- White wine can also be substituted for chicken broth or left out completely. The flavour 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 and will not require thickening with cornstarch. Allow cream to reduce in a gentle simmer until thickened to your liking.
