A delightful dish featuring shrimp marinated in vodka and cooked in a flavorful garlic butter sauce, perfect for a special dinner.
Clean the shrimp by removing the shells and deveining them.
Use a small knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp to easily remove the vein.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and vodka. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate to allow the flavors to meld.
Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the marinated shrimp along with the marinade to the pan. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and are cooked through.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Pour in the cream and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Adjust the cream amount to achieve your desired sauce consistency.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Serve with crusty bread or over pasta for a complete meal.
