Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme leaves (for garnish)
  • 2 pound potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

1. Make the Mashed Potatoes:

2. Begin by preparing the mashed potatoes. Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the potatoes until tender, about 15–20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the warm milk, butter, and salt. Mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Set the mashed potatoes aside and keep them warm.

3. Cook the Shrimp:

4. In a bowl, toss the shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side, until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

5. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

6. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Dijon mustard (if using). Simmer the sauce for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

7. Combine:

8. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them in the creamy garlic sauce.

9. Serve:

10. Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates and top with the creamy garlic shrimp. Garnish the dish with fresh thyme leaves. Serve the Creamy Garlic Shrimp Over Mashed Potatoes warm and enjoy!

Notes

To ensure your Creamy Garlic Shrimp Over Mashed Potatoes is a resounding success, consider these helpful tips:

Use fresh or high-quality frozen shrimp. Fresh shrimp will provide the best texture and flavor, but frozen shrimp can also work well if they are of good quality.

Adjust the spice level to your preference. If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of paprika and garlic powder. For a bolder flavor, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.

Make it dairy-free. To create a dairy-free version of the creamy garlic sauce, substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk or a non-dairy milk alternative. Use a dairy-free Parmesan cheese or omit the Parmesan altogether.

Prepare the mashed potatoes in advance. The mashed potatoes can be made ahead of time and kept warm or reheated when ready to serve.
