Serve hot with crusty bread, pasta, or rice to soak up the garlicky sauce.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
Variations
Creamy Version: Add a splash of heavy cream to the sauce for a rich, velvety finish.

Herb Twist: Swap parsley for cilantro, dill, or chives for a different flavor profile.
