Description

Indulge in the delightful flavors of Creamy Garlic Butter Shrimp with Rice, a dish that brings the taste of the sea right to your table! This recipe is easy to prepare and features a rich and creamy sauce that pairs beautifully with tender shrimp and fluffy rice.

Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp

  • 1 pound fresh or frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined

Butter

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Garlic

  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced

Heavy Cream

  • 1 cup heavy cream

Rice

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice, jasmine, or basmati rice

Parsley

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Cook the Rice: Start by cooking your rice according to the package instructions. This usually involves boiling water, adding the rice, and simmering until tender. Fluff it with a fork once done, and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Create the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
  4. Combine and Serve: Return the shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Serve the shrimp over the fluffy rice, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh shrimp and garlic will provide the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t Overcook the Shrimp: Cook just until they turn pink to avoid a rubbery texture.
  • Adjust Creaminess: Feel free to add more or less cream based on your preference for richness.
  • Let It Rest: Allow the dish to sit for a few minutes after cooking to enhance the flavors.
  • Tweak Seasoning: Always taste and adjust seasoning before serving for the best flavor.
