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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. To assemble, place a slice of toasted bread on a plate and generously spoon the creamy garlic shrimp over the top.
