Instructions

Creating Shrimp with Lemon Parmesan Sauce is straightforward when you follow these clear steps:

  1. Prep Shrimp: Start by rinsing the shrimp thoroughly under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
  2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Sauté Garlic: Once the oil is shimmering, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.
  4. Cook Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink, then flip and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fully cooked and opaque.
  5. Remove Shrimp: Transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and set aside while you prepare the sauce.
  6. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir continuously to avoid scalding.
  7. Add Cheese: Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese while stirring until melted and smooth.
  8. Incorporate Lemon: Remove from heat and add the lemon juice and zest, stirring until combined.
  9. Return Shrimp: Place the cooked shrimp back into the skillet, stirring to coat evenly with the sauce.
  10. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
