Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 lb. raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt (divided)
  • Black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 6 tablespoons heavy cream
  • Pinch cayenne
  • 3 tablespoon Parmesan cheese (dry-grated)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)

Instruction

  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with half the kosher salt and black pepper. Add to the skillet and cook until just cooked through and no longer translucent, about 4 minutes. Transfer the shrimp to a plate, cover with foil and set aside.
  • Add the garlic to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the cream, the cayenne pepper, and the remaining kosher salt and black pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring. This should take about 1 minute.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese and gently stir until melted, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the shrimp back to the skillet. Gently stir to combine with the sauce and reheat, about 1 more minute. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
