In a skillet over medium heat, add 4 tablespoons of melted clarified butter. Place the bread slices in the skillet and toast until they are a beautiful golden brown, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the toasted bread to a plate and wipe out any breadcrumbs from the skillet. (Cook time: 6-8 minutes)

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted clarified butter to the skillet and increase the heat to high. When the pan is very hot and you see a faint wisp of smoke, carefully add the shrimp in a single layer using tongs. Sear the shrimp for 1 minute without stirring, allowing them to develop a lovely crust. (Cook time: 1 minute)

Sprinkle the shrimp with fresh lemon zest, then add the lemon juice and heavy cream. Stir gently to incorporate the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, creating a rich and flavorful sauce. Allow the cream to boil gently and reduce for 1 ½ to 2 minutes, as the shrimp finishes cooking and the sauce thickens to a desirable consistency. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)

Turn off the heat and stir in the minced fresh Italian parsley, adding a vibrant freshness to the dish. Taste the sauce and add a pinch of salt if needed to enhance the flavors.

1 mins
Divide the creamy garlic shrimp and sauce evenly over each slice of toasted French bread. Serve immediately and savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dry white wine to the skillet along with the lemon juice and cream.
Clarified butter is recommended for its high smoke point, but regular butter can be used as a substitute. Be careful not to burn it.
Adjust the amount of garlic and cayenne pepper to suit your personal preference.
Serve with a side of green salad to provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the dish.
