Notes

Feel free to substitute shrimp with chicken or scallops. For a lighter dish, use half-and-half or a dairy-free alternative like coconut cream. To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, adding a splash of milk when reheating for a smoother sauce. Enjoy adding fresh herbs or grated Parmesan for extra flavor!
