  4. Remove shrimp and set aside. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute.
  5. Add heavy cream and simmer for 3-5 minutes, then mix in the Parmesan cheese and Dijon mustard.
  6. Return shrimp to skillet, warm through for about 2 minutes, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve warm mashed potatoes topped with creamy garlic shrimp garnished with fresh thyme.
