Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • ½ cup white cooking wine
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Prepare the Shrimp

  • Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Dry shrimp cook better and develop more flavor. Season lightly with salt, pepper and paprika before cooking.

Heat the Pan

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely before adding other ingredients.

Cook the Garlic

  • Add the minced garlic to the hot skillet. Stir constantly for one minute. The garlic should become fragrant but not brown or burn.

Sear the Shrimp

  • Add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for about two minutes per side. The shrimp should turn pink and slightly golden.

Add the Wine

  • Pour the white cooking wine into the skillet. Stir gently while scraping the bottom. This adds flavor and helps create a rich sauce.

Add the Broth

  • Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice. Stir well. The liquid will blend with the wine and create a flavorful base.

Season the Sauce

  • Add red pepper flakes and extra paprika if desired. Stir thoroughly. Let the sauce simmer for three minutes to develop flavor.

Finish the Dish

  • Reduce the heat slightly. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese into the sauce. Stir gently until melted and blended into the liquid.

Garnish and Serve

  • Remove the skillet from heat. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the shrimp. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh shrimp whenever possible.
  • Pat shrimp dry before cooking.
  • Do not overcook the shrimp.
  • Use good-quality cooking wine.
  • Fresh garlic provides better flavor.
  • Simmer the sauce gently.
  • Serve immediately after cooking.
  • Add extra lemon for brightness.
