Creamy Garlic Shrimp
Description
Creamy Garlic Shrimp showcases medium shrimp sautéed in butter until just turning opaque, then enhanced with finely minced garlic for aromatics. White wine is added to the pan, allowed to simmer until slightly reduced and the alcohol aroma dissipates. Cream and Parmesan cheese are incorporated next, gently thickening the sauce while adding richness and umami.
The cooking process preserves the shrimp's tenderness while creating a smooth, lightly thickened sauce that clings to the seafood. The balance of garlic and Parmesan flavors complements the shrimp’s natural sweetness without overpowering it.
This dish is intended to be served immediately to enjoy the cream sauce at its best consistency. Optional garnishes like parsley or lemon wedges can enhance brightness when served with complementary sides.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and deveined, medium
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
- ½ cup white wine or sub with chicken stock/broth, dry
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet over high heat.
- When it starts foaming, add prawns. Cook until they start to change from translucent to white. Add garlic, stir for 20 seconds – by now the prawns should be white (but still raw inside).
- Add wine – it will steam and bubble rapidly. Cook for 30 seconds or until you can no longer smell the alcohol and half evaporated.
- Add cream, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 1 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side if desired.
