Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter together with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. When melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, and continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Add the shrimp back into the skillet along with the lemon juice. Stir to coat the shrimp in the creamy sauce and allow them to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or alongside crusty bread for dipping.
