A delightful shrimp and vegetable sauté with a creamy sauce, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Sauté the chopped onion and celery until they soften, about 5 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Pour in the cream and stir to combine.
Use heavy cream for a richer sauce.
Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 3 minutes.
Do not overcook the shrimp to keep them tender.
Serve the shrimp and sauce over cooked pasta.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
