Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb shrimp deveined, and tails removed
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste
  • 3-4 cloves garlic pressed
  • 8 oz sweet mini peppers chopped
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, around 3-4 minutes in total. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • To the same skillet add garlic, peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until they begin to brown in spots.
  • Stir in the vegetable broth and deglaze the skillet. Allow it to bubble for several minutes, until the liquid is reduced by half, and the peppers are just tender.
  • Add the cream cheese and whisk until incorporated and a creamy sauce is formed.
  • Return the shrimp into the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce. Top with parmesan and parsley.

Notes

As with most, this shrimp recipe is best enjoyed immediately. If you do have leftovers, store them in the fridge in an airtight container for about 2-3 days. To reheat, add the shrimp and sauce to a pan with a splash of olive oil or broth and heat until warm.
