About Shrimp cream and pea sauce

Shrimp Cream and Pea Sauce is a rich and flavorful addition to a variety of dishes, often associated with Italian or French cuisine. This creamy sauce typically combines tender shrimp, sweet peas, heavy cream, butter, garlic, and sometimes a hint of Parmesan or lemon for added brightness. It’s usually served over pasta, rice, or as a topping for seafood and chicken. The shrimp provides a lean protein source and essential nutrients like selenium and vitamin B12, while the peas contribute fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. However, the heavy cream and butter lend a luxurious texture but also high levels of saturated fat and calories. For a healthier option, substitutions like low-fat milk or olive oil can reduce the caloric impact while maintaining flavor. This versatile sauce offers a balance of indulgence and nutritional benefits depending on its preparation.
