Ingredients
- 1 pound Large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup Unsalted chicken broth
- 0.75 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and allow it to melt. Add the unsalted chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine.
Step 5
Gradually add the heavy cream while stirring constantly to make the sauce. Ensure the heat is medium to low to prevent curdling.
Step 6
Add the black pepper and paprika to the sauce, adjusting the seasoning to taste. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them gently in the sauce to ensure they are well coated. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat the shrimp through.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the fresh parsley over the shrimp.
Step 9
Serve immediately with your choice of side, such as steamed vegetables or a bed of rice.
