Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 onion diced fine
- ¼ cup garlic diced
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 8 oz neufchatel cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream or half and half
- 1 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1 lb shrimp
- 4 zucchini spiralized
Instructions
- Heat butter in large, heavy pot on high heat until melted and foamy.
- Reduce heat to medium and add onion and garlic to pan, and cook until soft and browned, about 3 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning- watch to be sure garlic does not overheat and smell bitter.
- Add zucchini and stock to pan and toss evenly, bringing to a rapid boil.
- Add in cream cheese and melt, stirring often to break it up around the pan.
- Turn heat off, and add in cream and parmesan cheese, whisking as you pour it in.
- Turn heat back on to medium high once cream is incorporated, adding shrimp and grated parmesan with it.
- Cook down until sauce is reduced and shrimp is pink and opaque, about 5 minutes. Do not over cook shrimp.
- Serve immediately.
