Notes

  • Large or extra-large shrimp work best for this recipe.
  • Add mushrooms, asparagus, or roasted red peppers for extra vegetables.
  • Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
  • Serve over pasta, rice, mashed potatoes, or cauliflower rice.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently.
