Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound shrimp tails on or off
  • ¼ teaspoon salt to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 1 ½ cups reduced fat cream
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese freshly grates
  • 2 tablespoons parsley fresh, chopped

Instructions

  • Heat oil a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side, until just cooked through and pink. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
  • Melt the butter in the same skillet. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the white wine or broth; allow to reduce to half while scraping any bits off of the bottom of the pan.
  • Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the cream and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  • Add the parmesan cheese and allow sauce to gently simmer for a further minute or so until the cheese melts and sauce thickens.
  • Add the shrimp back into the pan, sprinkle with parsley. Taste test sauce and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
  • Serve over pasta, rice or steamed veg.

Notes

*Use a good quality dry white wine such as a pinot griot or chardonnay.
White wine can also be substituted for chicken broth or left out completely. The flavour in the sauce will be altered.
*I use reduced fat cream (or light cream) for this recipe. Substitute with half and half if you wish, being careful not to bring the sauce to a boil or it may curdle. You can also use evaporated milk as a low calorie substitution.
Heavy or thickened cream may also be used and will not require thickening with cornstarch. Allow cream to reduce in a gentle simmer until thickened to your liking.
