Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the shrimp to the skillet, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Pour chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a simmer, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and butter.
Simmer the sauce gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring frequently.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the creamy garlic sauce.
Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Remove from heat, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish, and serve immediately.
