Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 shallot, finely minced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 0.5 cup chicken stock
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Prepare the shrimp by rinsing thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the minced shallot and garlic to the skillet, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Stir in the Dijon mustard, followed by the white wine. Allow the liquid to simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Simmer for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce has reduced by half.
Lower the heat to medium-low, then stir in the heavy cream and lemon juice. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.
Season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Add them to the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes until they turn pink and are opaque, flipping once midway through cooking.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter to add richness and shine to the sauce.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. This dish pairs wonderfully with rice, crusty bread, or steamed vegetables.
