Velvet Shrimp Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Sauté the Shrimp
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and opaque.
Make the Cream Sauce
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add Cheese and Seasonings
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Serve
Serve the Velvet Shrimp hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
