Description

This Juicy Mouthwatering Delicious Creamy Garlic Shrimp recipe features tender shrimp cooked in a rich, flavorful cream sauce infused with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and a hint of spice. Perfect for a quick and elegant meal, this dish combines succulent shrimp with a luscious buttery cream sauce that can be served over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Ingredients

Shrimp

  • 1 pound large shrimp (peeled and deveined, tails on or off)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Season the Shrimp: Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and paprika to enhance their natural flavor and add a bit of smoky spice.
  2. Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side or until the shrimp are just pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside to keep warm.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Add Cream and Broth: Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to allow flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
  5. Incorporate Cheese and Seasonings: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes if using. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, which usually takes about 3–4 minutes.
  6. Finish the Dish: Stir in the lemon juice, return the cooked shrimp to the pan, and simmer everything together for 1–2 minutes until the shrimp is heated through and the sauce is well blended.
  7. Serve: Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness, and serve immediately with your favorite side such as pasta, rice, or crusty bread.

Notes

  • Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
  • Frozen shrimp can be used—just thaw completely and pat dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture.
