• 2 tablespoons dry sherry or white wine
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and melt over medium-low heat.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux.

Step 5

Gradually add the seafood stock while whisking, ensuring there are no lumps. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Whisk in the heavy cream and cook for another 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg yolks and stir in the dry sherry or white wine to temper the eggs.

Step 8

Slowly add the egg mixture to the sauce while stirring constantly to avoid curdling.

Step 9

Season with paprika, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 10

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, stirring gently to coat with the sauce. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp are heated through.

Serve immediately over cooked rice, toast, or pasta.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
