Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 pound Medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, and tails removed
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Shredded Swiss cheese
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Hot sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 loaf Crusty bread, cut into cubes (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, sprinkle the flour over the butter and garlic mixture. Whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 5

Slowly pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture begins to thicken.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the Swiss, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses, one handful at a time, allowing each addition to melt before adding the next.

Step 7

Stir in the hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency.

Step 8

Chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and stir them into the cheese fondue.

Step 9

Pour the shrimp fondue into a warmed fondue pot or serving dish.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with cubes of crusty bread for dipping.
