Method
- Prepare the rice according to the directions on the box.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned, stirring very frequently. Lower the heat if the garlic starts to brown too fast to avoid burning.
- Stir in the shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, or until they turn pink, stirring frequently. Add the prepared rice to the skillet and stir until well combined.
- Add the parmesan cheese, milk, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes, or until creamy and heated through.
- Remove from heat. Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, then serve.

Notes
Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them properly before cooking. Shrimp cook quickly; overcooking can make them rubbery. They are done when they turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can create a bitter taste. You can add scallops or white fish for variety, or serve the shrimp over quinoa, couscous, or pasta instead of rice. For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the garlic butter.
