Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lb shrimp peeled, deveined, tails removed
  • 4 Tbsp butter unsalted
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 0.75 cup heavy cream or crème fraîche
  • 0.33 cup fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 Tbsp fresh dill chopped (optional)
  • 3 cups cooked jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground

Method
 

  1. Begin by preparing your rice and fresh herbs. Combining cooked rice with parsley, dill, salt, and olive oil enhances its flavor and creates a lovely base for your shrimp.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter along with olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Season shrimp with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for about two minutes on each side until opaque and pink.
  4. Remove shrimp from the pan, reduce heat to low, and add more butter. Pour in heavy cream while scraping up browned bits. Simmer to create the cream sauce.
  5. Return shrimp to the pan and stir in the sauce until well coated. Add remaining parsley, dill, and lemon juice to brighten the dish.
  6. Divide herb rice among bowls, top with shrimp, drizzle with extra cream sauce, and garnish with reserved herbs and lemon wedges.
