Ingredients

• 500 grams Prawns or shrimp
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Clean and devein the prawns or shrimp if not already done. Pat them dry with a paper towel and set them aside.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the prawns or shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add the mustard, stirring to combine with the remaining fat and garlic. Cook for about 1 minute.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the heavy cream and smoked paprika, then season with salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 7

Add the cooked prawns or shrimp back into the skillet, coating them in the creamy mustard sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to reheat and meld the flavors.

Step 8

Stir in the lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with crusty bread, rice, or pasta for a complete meal.
