Creamy Shrimp Scampi

Ingredients

  • flour (0.25 cup)
  • salt and pepper (0 )
  • large shrimp (24 )
  • olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • finely chopped shallot (2 tablespoons)
  • large clove garlic (1 )
  • chicken broth (1 cup)

  • lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
  • heavy cream (1 cup)
  • butter (0.5 cup)
  • grated Romano cheese (0.25 cup)
  • chopped fresh parsley (2 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Place flour in a shallow dish; season with salt and pepper. Toss shrimp in flour; shake off any excess.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add shrimp and cook until pink, about 2 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from skillet; set aside. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the skillet. Add shallots and garlic; cook and stir until soft, about 2 minutes. Pour in 1/2 cup chicken broth, wine, and lemon juice. Simmer until reduced to about 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth and cream; simmer until sauce is reduced and thickened slightly, approximately 10 minutes more. Add butter and stir until melted.
  4. Return shrimp to the skillet; simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with Romano cheese and parsley before serving.
