    Paso 1

  2. Sear the shrimp

    • Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Bloom the garlic and spices

    • Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Do not let it brown.

  5. Add Parmesan and finish the sauce

    • Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the grated Parmesan until melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
    • Stir in the lemon juice and parsley, then taste for a creamy, savory flavor with subtle sweetness and brightness.
    Paso 5

  6. Warm the shrimp in the sauce

    • Add the shrimp and any juices back into the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
    • Gently simmer just until everything is heated through, then remove from the heat.
