Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and garlic; cook and stir until the shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining butter to the skillet and let it melt. Stir in the cream cheese and garlic powder until smooth, about 2 minutes. Stir in the milk and Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes more. Season with pepper.
