Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
In the same skillet, add the vegetable broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Add this to the simmering broth, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Step 7
Lower the heat and gently whisk in the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, black pepper, and paprika, mixing until smooth and warmed through.
Step 8
Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them gently in the creamy sauce to ensure they are fully coated.
Step 9
Allow the shrimp to heat through for an additional 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a flavorful dish on its own or over a bed of steamed vegetables or whole grains for a complete meal.
