Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound shrimp (tails on or off)
¼ teaspoon salt (to taste)
¼ teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 cloves garlic, minced
½ cup chicken broth
1 ½ cups reduced-fat cream
½ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Fry the shrimp for 1-2 minutes on each side until just cooked through and pink. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the chicken broth, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan. Let it reduce to half.
Lower the heat to low-medium. Stir in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the parmesan cheese and let the sauce simmer until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.
Return the shrimp to the pan, sprinkle with parsley, and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
