Notes
- Tip 1: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stovetop to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
- Tip 2: It’s best not to freeze this dish, as the texture of the shrimp and sauce may change upon thawing. Enjoy it fresh for the best results!
- Tip 3: This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp green salad or roasted veggies. A light white wine or sparkling water complements it beautifully.
- Tip 4: Serve it in shallow bowls to highlight the creamy sauce. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or additional parmesan for an inviting look.
- Tip 5: To save time, you can prepare the sauce in advance and reheat it when you’re ready to serve. Just cook the shrimp fresh for the best texture.
