Ingredients

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1/2 small yellow onion or 1 large shallot, finely diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
• 1/2 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails on or off
• 1/2 tsp paprika (or Old Bay/Cajun seasoning for a kick)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet or pan over medium heat.
2. Add the finely diced onion or shallot and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in the creamed corn, chicken broth, and heavy cream (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper to taste.
4. Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the simmering corn mixture. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them.
5. Remove from heat immediately. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot, perhaps with crusty bread or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
