Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tbsp parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 cup white wine (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a large skillet, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
If using, pour in the white wine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes, until pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in Dijon mustard, heavy cream, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the sauce. Allow them to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top and serve immediately with your choice of side dish, such as rice, pasta, or crusty bread.
