• 1 cup Jasmine or Basmati rice
• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter & 1 tbsp olive oil
• Fresh parsley and cracked black pepper

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

1. Rinse and cook the rice according to package instructions until fluffy. Keep warm and set aside.

3. In a large skillet, melt the butter with olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sear for 1-2 minutes per side until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside (do not overcook).
4. Turn the heat down to medium. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant and soft.
5. Pour in the heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and let it reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes. Stir in half of the fresh chopped parsley.
6. Return the seared shrimp back into the creamy garlic sauce, tossing gently for 1 minute to coat thoroughly.
