A comforting and easy weeknight dinner featuring tender shrimp in a rich garlic cream sauce served over fluffy mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups prepared mashed potatoes

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Stir in the fresh parsley.
  8. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Serve the creamy garlic shrimp immediately over warm mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • For make-ahead mashed potatoes, prepare them up to 2 days in advance and reheat gently before serving.
  • Ensure your shrimp are not overcooked; they cook very quickly.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic to your preference.
