Henny Butter Shrimp 🧈🍤🥃 (Cognac Garlic Butter Shrimp)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prep & Season the Shrimp 🍤

1. Pat the shrimp dry using paper towels to ensure a good sear.
2. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika for a little smoky warmth.

Step 2: Sear the Shrimp 🍳

1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until pink, firm, and just opaque.
3. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside on a plate.

Step 3: Make the Henny Butter Sauce 🧈🥃

1. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and melt the butter.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
3. Carefully pour in the Hennessy cognac. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes to slightly reduce and cook off some of the alcohol.
4. Stir in Dijon mustard (if using) and fresh lemon juice for tang and depth.

Step 4: Combine & Serve 🍤

1. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the buttery sauce.
2. Cook for another minute until everything is warmed through and well combined.
3. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
