step by step

Method

  1. Season the shrimp

    • In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the oil, salt, smoked paprika and black pepper.
    • Mix well until evenly coated.
    Step 1

  2. Sear the shrimp

    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the shrimp.
    • Cook for about 1–2 minutes per side until lightly golden; they can be slightly undercooked as they finish in the sauce.
    • Remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.
    Step 2

  3. Build the sauce

    • Reduce the heat to medium and add the oil and butter.
    • Once the butter melts, add the shallot and garlic and sauté until fragrant and softened.
    • Stir in the crushed red pepper flakes, pour in the chicken broth and let simmer.
    Step 3

  4. Finish the cream sauce

    • Add the heavy cream and season with salt, smoked paprika and black pepper to taste.
    • Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
    • Squeeze in the lemon juice and mix well.
    Step 4

  5. Return the shrimp

    • Add the shrimp back to the pan along with any juices that have accumulated on the plate.
    • Cook until the shrimp are fully cooked.
    Step 5

  6. Serve
