My hubby is beyond addicted to this stuff! We finish one serving and he’s asking when I can make this recipe again

Step 2: Sear the Protein

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter or oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your protein and sear it until it’s golden brown on all sides—about 5–7 minutes for chicken or beef, slightly less for shrimp. Remove the protein from the pan and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables

In the same pan, add a little more butter or oil if needed. Toss in the onions and bell peppers and sauté until softened, about 4–5 minutes. Add the minced garlic in the last minute to avoid burning it, which could make it bitter.

Step 4: Combine and Season

Return the protein to the skillet. Sprinkle in the salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes if using. Stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5: Add Cream and Cheese

Lower the heat and pour in the cream (or milk). Let it simmer gently for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally. If you’re using cheese, sprinkle it over the top and stir until melted and creamy. This is the moment where the dish becomes irresistibly indulgent.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley or cilantro on top. Serve immediately—hot, creamy, and utterly addictive.

Pro Tips for Maximum “Addictive” Factor

1. Don’t overcook your protein—keep it tender and juicy.
2. Use a mix of cheeses—combining mozzarella and cheddar creates a gooey, flavorful sauce.
3. Serve with a side that soaks up the sauce—like steamed rice, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
4. Adjust spice levels—a little chili flakes or paprika kick keeps it exciting without overpowering.

If you want, I can also rewrite this article in a punchy, social media-friendly version that emphasizes “one serving isn’t enough” for higher engagement. It would be perfect for Instagram, TikTok, or a blog post.
