Methods

Heat a large frying pan with oil over medium to high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until fully cooked and pink. Transfer to a bowl and set aside. Melt butter in the same skillet. Fry the garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour white wine or broth. Allow it to halve while scraping any bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to low-medium, add cream, and simmer, stirring occasionally. Seasoning with salt also pepper to your taste. Add the Parmesan cheese and let the sauce simmer gently for another minute or so until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and sprinkle with parsley. Taste the test sauce and adjust salt and pepper if necessary. Serve over pasta, rice, or steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
