Ingredients
Scale
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 cups cooked white rice
4 tbsp unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp basil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in heavy cream, dried parsley, oregano, and basil. Let the sauce simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and coat with the creamy sauce. Cook for another minute to combine flavors.
To serve, divide cooked rice into bowls. Top with creamy garlic butter shrimp and drizzle with remaining sauce. Garnish with a squeeze of lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
Use fresh or frozen shrimp, but make sure they are fully thawed before cooking.
For added texture, consider adding sautéed vegetables like spinach or bell peppers.
This recipe pairs well with jasmine or basmati rice for extra aroma.
Double the sauce portion if you like it extra creamy!
