Cook shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side until they start to brown, then remove from skillet and place in a clean bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet; let it melt and scrape off bits from the bottom of the pan.

Turn heat down to medium-low and add 6 minced cloves of garlic; cook for about 30 seconds.

Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth; bring to a light simmer and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes.

Lower the heat to low and gradually add 1/2 cup of heavy cream; stir it in and let it come to a simmer, cooking for about 2 more minutes.

Add 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese; stir until melted and combined.

Return the shrimp to the skillet; stir to coat with the sauce and warm up for about 2 minutes.

Remove shrimp to a serving dish.
