Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Prawns or shrimp
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Clean and devein the prawns or shrimp if not already done. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set them aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the prawns or shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the mustard, stirring to combine with the remaining fat and garlic. Cook for about 1 minute.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream and smoked paprika, then season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add the cooked prawns or shrimp back into the skillet, coating them in the creamy mustard sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to reheat and meld the flavors.
Stir in the lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or pasta for a complete meal.
