  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound peeled and deveined Ecuadorian shrimp
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken broth

  • 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 with pasta, rice or veggies.
