Directions

Prep 10 minCook 20 min

1
Rinse the shrimp with cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
2
Melt two-thirds of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sauté for 4-6 minutes until they turn opaque. Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
3
Add the remaining butter to the pan. Once melted, add the minced garlic and stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
4
Whisk in the chicken broth, then gradually whisk in the heavy cream. Once the sauce is thickened and creamy, reduce the heat to low and stir in the lemon juice.
5
Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to coat in the sauce.
6
Stir in the dill and garnish with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
