Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Gather all the ingredients and prepare them as follows: peel and devein the shrimp, mince the garlic, dice the red and green bell peppers, and chop the onion and parsley.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until it starts to become translucent.

  3. 3

    Add Garlic and Peppers

    Add the minced garlic, diced red and green bell peppers to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the peppers soften and the garlic is fragrant.

  4. 4

    Season the Mixture

    Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper over the vegetable mixture. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

  5. 5

    Add Shrimp and Broth

    Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp and chicken broth to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.

  6. 6

    Incorporate Cream

    Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir gently until the cream is well incorporated and the mixture is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately over rice or pasta, if desired.
