🧄 What Makes This Recipe So Good
Made with a handful of staple ingredients, creamy garlic shrimp is one of those recipes that’s delicious and impressive enough to serve to guests or on special occasions, but easy enough to throw together in the middle of a busy evening. You can have this dish ready to eat in as little as 15 minutes, and it doesn’t need any fancy sides or anything, either. Mashed potatoes, rice, pasta – or if you want to keep things low carb, go for palmini, cauliflower rice, or zoodles. Honestly, sometimes I just eat the shrimp and cream sauce all on its own, no sides needed.
👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
Be careful not to overcook the shrimp. One of the reasons this recipe is so quick and easy is because shrimp takes literal minutes to cook completely, but that means it’s all too easy to leave it in the skillet too long. Don’t let the shrimp rest in the creamy garlic sauce too long at the end of the recipe, either. Since this recipe doesn’t call for a ton of ingredients, the quality of the ingredients you use will really make a difference. Fresh parmesan, grated right off a block, is ideal for sauces like this. Prepackaged grated parm usually contains fillers and starches to keep it from clumping, but those fillers can make your sauce grainy and keep the cheese from melting completely. Fresh garlic is a must, too!
