Creamy garlic shrimp is a delicious, quick and easy 15-minute meal (including prep!) that you need to include in your weeknight dinner meal plan. Juicy jumbo shrimp is seared and then tossed in a delicious, creamy and cheesy sauce that is just irresistible. It’s a comforting seafood dinner than you can serve over a plate of pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes, or on its own with some crusty bread for some major dipping. This dish is pure comfort food goals.
Shrimp is a go-to for super fast meals because they cook so quickly. And if you know me, you know that I am all about the easy 30-minute dinners around here. But a 15-minute dinner, including prep, well that is just a no brainer. Some other inspo for quick 15-minute meals that you can throw together on a busy weeknight are: Cacio e Pepe Pasta, Spaghetti Carbonara, Neapolitan Margherita Skillet Pizza, and Seafood Fried Rice.
Delicious and easy to make, this is a great meal for a weeknight or for entertaining.
