Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the shrimp in a single layer in a small baking dish.
  3. In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant. Do not let it brown.
  5. Whisk in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  7. Pour the creamy garlic sauce evenly over the shrimp in the baking dish.

  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Serve immediately with crusty bread to soak up the extra sauce.
