Creamy Garlic Butter Shrimp

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they just turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
2. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the chicken broth, then bring to a simmer before adding the heavy cream. Stir well to combine.
4. Add the lemon juice, and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
5. Return the shrimp to the skillet, allowing them to be coated in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through.
6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.

Chef’s Tips

• For extra richness, add a few tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce.
• Ensure the shrimp are not overcooked; they should be just pink to stay tender.
• Add a pinch of red chili flakes for a bit of heat if desired.
