Instructions :

  1. Konjac Noodle Preparation : Rinse the konjac noodles under cold water for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the shrimp : Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauce Preparation : In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the heavy cream and chicken broth, then bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken.
  4. Add the Parmesan : Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, if desired.
  5. Combine ingredients : Add the konjac noodles to the pan and stir to coat well with the sauce. Add the cooked shrimp and heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Finish and serve : Remove from heat and add lemon juice and chopped parsley. Mix lightly to incorporate.
  7. Serve : Divide the noodles and shrimp among plates. Top with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes:

  • Konjac noodles have a unique texture and absorb the flavors of the sauce well.
  • For a spicier option, add more red pepper flakes or a little hot sauce.
  • This dish can be served with a green salad for a balanced meal.
