A comforting dish featuring plump shrimp in a creamy garlic sauce served over velvety mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled & deveined
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled & chunked
  • 4 tbsp butter (divided)
  • ½ cup heavy cream (for mashed potatoes)
  • ¼ cup milk (for mashed potatoes)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for sauce)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil the Potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the chunked potatoes and simmer until fork-tender, approximately 15 minutes.
  2. Mash the Potatoes: Drain the potatoes and return to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of butter, heavy cream, and milk. Mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper, and keep warm.
  3. Sauté the Shrimp: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  4. Cook the Garlic: In the same skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  5. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Incorporate Cheese: Stir in grated Parmesan until melted and mixed into the sauce.
  7. Combine the Shrimp and Sauce: Return cooked shrimp to the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the creamy sauce. Toss gently to combine.
  8. Serve and Garnish: Serve the creamy garlic shrimp over the warm mashed potatoes and garnish with fresh parsley.
