Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup chicken or seafood stock
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- 4 servings rice or pasta (for serving)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
Season the shrimp with a light sprinkle of salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side, until they are pink and just cooked through. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds, just until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken or seafood stock, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and incorporate any bits of flavor.
Turn the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, letting it melt into the sauce completely, and season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce to coat. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Stir in the lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serve the Shrimp Addie over rice or pasta, spooning extra sauce on top. Enjoy immediately!
