Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined 450g
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  5. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and breadcrumbs evenly over the top.

Notes

You can use pre-cooked shrimp to save time; just reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes.
Swap mozzarella with Gruyère or Swiss cheese for a different flavor profile.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
