Creamy Garlic Butter Shrimp with Fluffy Rice

Instructions:
step 1 Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
step 2 In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
step 3 Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
step 4 Return the shrimp to the pan and coat in the sauce. Add chopped parsley and lemon juice (if using). Simmer for 1-2 more minutes.
step 5 Serve the creamy garlic butter shrimp over a bed of warm, fluffy rice. Garnish with more parsley.

Storage and Reheating Tips:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave with a splash of cream or broth to maintain sauce consistency. Avoid overheating to prevent the shrimp from becoming rubbery.
