Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams Low-fat cream cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 60 milliliters Low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 60 grams Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the low-fat cream cheese. Stir until it begins to melt.
Slowly add the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring constantly until smooth and fully incorporated.
Stir in the plain Greek yogurt, ensuring a creamy consistency. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
Chop the cooked shrimp into small bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Mix well to coat the shrimp in the sauce.
Add the fresh parsley and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool slightly. Sprinkle with paprika for garnish if desired.
Use the filling to stuff prepared crepes, fold or roll them as desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
