Shrimp in a creamy sauce with parmesan - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a dairy-free alternative to heavy cream in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute heavy cream with coconut cream or a plant-based cream alternative for a dairy-free version. Just ensure it has a similar consistency to mimic the creamy texture.

How should I store leftovers, and how long will they last?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove to prevent the sauce from separating.

What can I use instead of shrimp for a vegetarian version?

For a vegetarian twist, replace shrimp with sliced mushrooms, cauliflower florets, or tofu. Adjust cooking times accordingly to ensure they're properly softened.

Can I make this dish ahead of time for meal prep?

This dish is best served fresh due to the creamy sauce, but you can prep ingredients in advance (like cleaning shrimp) and cook just before serving.

What sides pair well with this shrimp in creamy sauce?

Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce. A light salad also balances the richness nicely.

Is this recipe freezer-friendly?

Freezing isn't recommended as dairy-based sauces can separate when thawed, altering the texture. Enjoy fresh for the best results.

How can I make this dish spicier?

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce while cooking to give it a spicy kick without overpowering the creamy flavor.

Can I use frozen shrimp instead of fresh?

Yes, thaw frozen shrimp completely and pat them dry before cooking to ensure they sear properly and don’t release excess water into the sauce.
