Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 pound Shrimp deveined, and tails removed
- salt to taste, kosher salt
- black pepper to taste, kosher salt
- 3-4 cloves garlic pressed
- 8 ounces sweet mini peppers chopped
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped
Instructions
- Heat the 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 pound shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, around 3-4 minutes in total. Season with Kosher salt and pepper and set aside.
- To the same skillet, add 3-4 cloves garlic (minced) and 8 ounces sweet mini peppers (diced) and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they begin to brown in spots.
- Stir in the 1 cup vegetable broth and deglaze the skillet. Allow it to bubble for several minutes until the liquid is reduced by half and the peppers are just tender.
- Add the 4 ounces cream cheese and whisk until incorporated and a creamy sauce is formed.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Top with 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, mix to combine and garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped parsley.
Notes
- If you do have leftovers, store them in the fridge in an airtight container for about 2-3 days. To reheat, add the shrimp and sauce to a pan with a splash of olive oil or broth and heat until warm.
- Instead of shrimp you may use boneless and skinless chicken breast.
- Cream cheese is used to make the creamy sauce which can be swapped with half and half or coconut milk (canned).
- Instead of mini peppers, you can use one small chopped zucchini.
