👨‍🍳 Instructions

Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, stir in the garlic, and cook 1 to 2 minutes until soft but not browned.

Pour in the cream and bring to a simmer.

Whisk in the avocado until smooth, return to a simmer, and add the shrimp.

Cook over medium-low heat just until the shrimp have turned opaque, 5 to 7 minutes.

Sprinkle with black pepper, and serve hot.
