Ingredients
- 1 ½-2 pounds Shrimp peeled and de-veined, tails removed if desired, large
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- ⅓ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream OR half and half mixed with 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 tablespoon dill freshly chopped
- black pepper cracked, to taste
Instructions
- Rinse shrimp with cold water and pat very dry with paper towels. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet.
- Add shrimp to pan and saute 4-6 minutes over medium-high heat until opaque. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to the pan. Once melted, stir in garlic for one minute until fragrant.
- Whisk in chicken broth, then gradually whisk in heavy cream. One sauce is thickened and creamy, reduce heat to low and stir in lemon juice.
- Return shrimp to the pan, toss to coat in the sauce. Stir in dill and garnish with cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Use heavy cream instead of the half and half for a creamier, richer sauce.
