Creamy Lemon Parmesan Shrimp

Directions

Heat the butter (or oil) in a large skillet over medium-high heat until butter has melted and pan is hot. Fry the shrimp (prawns) for 2 minutes each side until pink and 'just' cooked. Transfer to a plate.

Add the garlic to the remaining oil in the pan and fry until fragrant. Reduce heat to low-medium heat, add the half and half. Bring the sauce to a boil; season with salt and pepper to your taste; add in the parmesan cheese and and allow sauce to simmer for about 2 minutes until thicker. Add the agar agar into the centre of the pan and whisk through fast to combine into the sauce. It will begin to thicken immediately.

Take off heat and stir in the lemon juice. Add the shrimp (prawns) back into the pan; top with lemon slices, parsley, extra parmesan cheese, cracked pepper and salt (if needed), to serve.
