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

Directions

Step 1

Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and sprinkle with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter together with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. When melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and stir to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Step 6

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, and continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Sprinkle the dish with chopped parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or alongside crusty bread for dipping.
