  • 200 ml (¾ cup) heavy cream

Ingredients — Rice:

  • ½ tsp salt
  • 400 ml (1¾ cups) water
  • 200 g (1 cup) jasmine or basmati rice

Instructions:

  1. Add the rice, water, and salt to a pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 10–12 minutes until the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

  3. In the same pan, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard (if using). Simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
  5. Stir in the Parmesan until melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce. Simmer for 1–2 minutes.
