Ingredients

• 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 10 cloves Garlic cloves, peeled
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Place the garlic cloves on a small sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until soft and golden brown.

Step 3

While the garlic is roasting, pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

Step 5

Once the garlic is roasted, mash it into a paste using the back of a spoon or a fork.

Step 6

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the roasted garlic paste.

Step 7

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Add the cooked shrimp back into the skillet, along with lemon juice and red pepper flakes if using. Toss to coat the shrimp in the sauce.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately over rice, pasta, or with crusty bread for dipping.
