Creamy Garlic Shrimp with Rice

🍤 Creamy Garlic Shrimp with Rice — Rich, Buttery, and Full of Flavor

This creamy garlic shrimp with rice brings together tender, quick-seared shrimp and a velvety Parmesan cream sauce for a comforting, restaurant-style meal. The shrimp are lightly seasoned and cooked just long enough to stay juicy, while the sauce blends garlic, broth, cream, and cheese into a silky coating that clings beautifully to every bite. Served over warm jasmine or basmati rice, the dish offers a balanced contrast between rich sauce, bright lemon, and fresh parsley. It comes together quickly, making it ideal for weeknight dinners without sacrificing depth of flavor.
