A delightful and easy-to-make shrimp dish with a creamy garlic butter sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Heat the butter in a large non-stick pan over medium heat until melted.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to keep the sauce light.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Sprinkle the flour into the pan and stir until it forms a smooth paste.
Cook the roux for a minute to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps.
Warm the milk slightly before adding for a smoother sauce.
Stir in the cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Grate the cheese finely for quicker melting.
Add the shrimp and green onions to the sauce and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Avoid overcooking the shrimp to keep them tender.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately over your choice of rice, pasta, or toasted bread.
Garnish with additional green onions or parsley for a fresh touch.
