Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Four fresh garlic cloves minced
- half of one shallot, minced
- 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 and 3/4 pounds jumbo raw shrimp, shelled
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
- freshly squeezed juice of half a lemon (fresh lemon juice)
Instructions
- Melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
- Add the chicken broth, salt, red pepper flakes, paprika, and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a simmer for 2 minutes until wine reduces by about half.
- Toss in the fresh shrimp and cook until they become pink, which should take 2 to 3 minutes, depending on their size. Squeeze in the juice from half a lemon and sprinkle in the parsley.
- While the shrimp cooks, make your pasta and warm your bread!
- Serve the succulent shrimp over rice or pasta, drizzling the sauce over the top. Pair with lots of crusty bread to soak up the lemony sauce.
- Serve with fresh lemon wedges and grated parmesan cheese at the table. Enjoy!
Notes
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat in a pan over low heat.
*You can use a half cup of dry white wine instead of the chicken broth.
