Main Ingredients- 1 cup peeled and deveined shrimp, plump
- Pinch of coarse salt (for seasoning shrimp)
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper (for seasoning shrimp)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic
- A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (for sautéing)
- 3 dried red chili flakes (peperoncino, adjust to taste)
Cheesy Fondue Sauce- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 cups shredded pizza cheese (e.g., mozzarella, cheddar)
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup warm milk
- 2 cups shredded pizza cheese (e.g., mozzarella, cheddar)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the 3 cloves of fresh garlic and slicing them thinly. Sautéing thinly sliced garlic releases its aromatic oils, deeply infusing the dish with flavor.
Step 2
Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add a generous drizzle of olive oil. Add the sliced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn. Once the garlic is lightly golden, add the prepared shrimp. Sauté the shrimp until they turn pink and are almost cooked through. Be mindful not to overcook them, as they can become tough.
Step 3
When the shrimp are nearly done, add the crushed red chili flakes, a pinch of coarse salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper. Stir-fry quickly to coat the shrimp with these seasonings. The chili flakes will add a pleasant spicy kick, so feel free to add more if you enjoy heat.
Step 4
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine the softened cream cheese (1 cup), warm milk (1 cup), and shredded pizza cheese (2 cups). Stir everything together until smooth and well combined, ensuring there are no lumps before microwaving. Microwave on high for approximately 3 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Stir halfway through for even melting.
Step 5
Finally, pour the melted cheese fondue sauce into the pan with the sautéed shrimp. Reduce the heat to low and gently stir everything together. Let it simmer until the shrimp are fully coated in the luscious cheese sauce. The sauce should bubble gently. If the fondue becomes too thick, you can add a tiny splash more warm milk to reach your desired consistency. Serve immediately while hot to enjoy the delightful stretch of the cheese and the tender bite of the shrimp.
