Calories 313kcal
Ingredients
- 2 pounds shrimp peeled + deveined. Tail on or off
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon avocado or vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Pat shrimp completely dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Heat oil in a large pan or skillet over medium high heat. Sear on each side for 1-2 minutes, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through. Remove cooked shrimp to a plate and set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium, and add the butter to the same skillet. Once melted, stir in the garlic and saute until it becomes fragrant. Add the white wine and remove any brown bits from the bottom of the pan as it simmers. Continue to simmer until the wine has reduced by half.
- Stir in the heavy cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then add the parmesan. Continue to cook, just until the parmesan melts into the sauce. Taste and adjust the salt, pepper, and cayenne to your liking.
- Stir in the shrimp, top with parsley, and serve over steamed veggies or pasta. Enjoy!
