Instructions

1
In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup long-grain white rice, 2 cups water or chicken broth, salt, and 1 tablespoon butter. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let sit covered.
2
Season 1 lb large shrimp with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon paprika.
3
Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 1–2 minutes per side, or until shrimp is pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
4
In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add 3 tablespoon unsalted butter and 5 cloves minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
5
Pour in ½ cup chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
6
Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 3–5 minutes.
7
Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (if using), then return shrimp to the skillet. Toss to coat and heat through.
8
Serve creamy garlic butter shrimp over warm rice. Garnish with 2 tablespoon chopped parsley if desired.
