Notes
- How to store: Store leftover creamy garlic shrimp in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.
- How to reheat: Reheat on the stove over medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes until the shrimp are warmed through or in the microwave. The sauce may have thickened up in the refrigerator, so add a little water to thin it out a bit until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Note: this is meant to be a low carb and keto-friendly recipe. You may switch out the heavy cream with light coconut milk that you usually find in cans.
