Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. large uncooked shrimp
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup chicken broth (as a substitute for white wine)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup Parmesan cheese (microbial-rennet)
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons cold butter
- ¼ cup freshly chopped parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the Shrimp: Thaw the shrimp completely and pat dry. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook shrimp for about 1 minute and 20 seconds per side, then set aside on a plate.
- Reduce Aromatics: Add the chicken broth substitute and minced garlic to the skillet over medium heat and reduce by half for 3-4 minutes.
- Simmer Sauce: Add the chicken broth, Italian seasoning, and mustard powder. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 6-7 minutes to thicken.
- Add Dairy: Reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and then the Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated.
- Finish Shrimp: Return shrimp to the skillet and heat through for 30 seconds. Swirl in cold butter until melted.
- Final Touch: Remove from heat, stir in the lemon juice, and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For pasta service, toss with al dente pasta and reserved pasta water. Use freshly grated cheese from a wedge for the best melt. Add lemon juice only after removing the pan from heat to prevent the cream from curdling.
