Author: Sam Hu | Ahead of My Thyme
Creamy garlic shrimp is a delicious, quick and easy meal (including prep!) that you need to include in your dinner meal plan. Juicy jumbo shrimp is seared and then tossed in a delicious, creamy and cheesy sauce that is just irresistible. It’s a comforting seafood dinner than you can serve over a plate of pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, or on its own with some crusty bread for some major dipping.
