Equipment

  • Knife and cutting board
  • Large skillet

Ingredients

  • 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tbsp olive or avocado oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ tsp dry oregano
  • ¼ tsp dry basil
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (or to taste)
  • ½ tsp mustard powder
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Juice of one lemon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 1 ½ minutes on each side until opaque. Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  • Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, and mustard powder. Simmer for 5-6 minutes until slightly thick.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted. Return the shrimp to the skillet and cook for one minute to warm them up. Check the seasoning and add a pinch of salt if needed. Squeeze the lemon juice on top and serve over freshly cooked pasta or rice.
