Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 tbsp butter and 6 minced garlic cloves; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle with 2 tbsp parsley and serve hot with 4 slices crusty bread for dipping.
