A warm and comforting dish of fluffy mashed potatoes topped with succulent shrimp in a rich, garlicky cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Fill a pot with salted water and bring it to a boil. Toss in the potato chunks and let them bubble away until tender.
  2. Once cooked, drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk and sour cream, and mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside, letting them stay warm and cozy.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, letting it sizzle and become fragrant—your kitchen will smell heavenly!
  4. Add the shrimp to the skillet, stirring gently. Watch as they turn from grey to a beautiful pink. This shouldn’t take long; about 2-3 minutes will do.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring everything together. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens, and don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Spoon the garlic shrimp over your fluffy mashed potatoes, letting that luscious sauce drizzle down the sides. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

Notes

Ensure your shrimp is fresh. For variations, add lemon juice or red pepper flakes. Leftovers can be stored for up to 2 days.
