    1. Pour a little olive oil into a heavy-bottomed skillet and warm it over low heat. Crush the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife and add them to the oil. Cook for one minute, then lift them out with a slotted spoon — by now the garlic will have infused the oil with its aroma.
    1. Add the peeled shrimp to the skillet, pour in the cream, and add the cheese; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly.
