Ingredients

• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 small shallot, finely minced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 0.5 cup Chardonnay wine
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the shrimp to the hot skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes per side, or until pink and just cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil and butter to the skillet.

Step 5

Stir in the minced shallot and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened and translucent.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Step 7

Pour in the Chardonnay and deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon. Let the wine reduce by half, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard, whisking until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 9

Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.

Step 10

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, along with any juices that have collected on the plate. Toss the shrimp in the sauce to coat.

Step 11

Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, and optional red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.

Step 12

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 13

Serve immediately over pasta, rice, or crusty bread, garnishing with extra parsley if desired.
