Ingredients

• 500 grams Shrimp, raw, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
