Creamy Garlic Butter Shrimp Skillet

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Chef’s Tips

• For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when cooking the garlic.
• Pair this dish with pasta or rice to soak up the creamy sauce.
• Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture; if using frozen, make sure they are fully thawed and drained.
