Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.

Cooking the Sauce

  1. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped shallots. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add the Amaro

    Pour in the Amaro liqueur and bring to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, reducing slightly.

  3. 4

    Incorporate the Cream

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Mix well and let simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Cooking the Shrimp

  1. 5

    Cook the Shrimp

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring gently, until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.

Finishing Touch

  1. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the skillet from heat, stir in the chopped parsley, and serve immediately over pasta or rice, if desired.
