Step 1
Pat the 1 lb shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook until pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Step 3
Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tbsp butter and 6 minced garlic cloves; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Step 4
Stir in the 1 diced tomato and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, about 3 minutes.
Step 5
Return the shrimp to the skillet and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
Sprinkle with 2 tbsp parsley and serve hot with 4 slices crusty bread for dipping.
