Equipment

  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 pounds jumbo shrimp peeled, deveined, and tails removed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons white wine
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ cup white cheddar cheese shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat for 2 minutes until the hot oil is sizzling hot. Add shrimp and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are fully cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate.
  • Add butter and garlic to the same skillet and sauté until fragrant, about one minute. Add wine and stir well to combine, about one minute.
  • Add heavy cream, Italian seasoning and white cheddar. Stir well and bring the sauce to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium and keep stirring until thickened to a desired consistency.
  • Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss well to coat.
  • Garnish with parsley and serve immediately with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

Store creamy garlic shrimp in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat on the stove over medium-low heat for 5-10 minutes until shrimp is warmed through, or in the microwave. The sauce may have thickened up in the refrigerator, so add a little water to thin out the sauce until you achieve a desired consistency.
