Creamy Garlic Butter Shrimp with Rice

4. Combine everything

Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss gently to coat them in the creamy garlic sauce. Let everything simmer together for about 1 minute, just long enough for the shrimp to absorb the flavors and reheat without becoming rubbery.

5. Serve

Spoon hot rice into bowls and top generously with the creamy garlic butter shrimp and sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately while warm and comforting.
