Creamy Garlic Shrimp Toast Delightful and Easy Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0 to taste salt and pepper
- 4 slices rustic bread (like sourdough or ciabatta)
- 0 for drizzling olive oil
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
- In the same skillet, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Return the shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the creamy sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Stir in the chopped parsley right before serving.
- While the shrimp cooks, preheat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle the bread slices with olive oil on both sides. Toast the bread until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- To assemble, place a slice of toasted bread on a plate and generously spoon the creamy garlic shrimp over the top.
