Instructions
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add shrimp and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook until pink (but not overdone), about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Melt butter in the skillet and add garlic. Saute until fragrant (about 30 seconds - 1 minute). Do not burn the garlic.
- Add broth to the skillet and deglaze the pan. Let it simmer and reduce by about half.
- Add the half & half (or heavy cream) and bring to a simmer, stirring frequently.
- Add in parmesan and whisk until melted and sauce has thickened. Add in half of the parsley, half of the basil, and half of the oregano.
- Add shrimp back to the sauce and sprinkle with remaining parsley, basil, and oregano along with extra grated parmesan. Serve over pasta. Our favorite is orzo!
