**Creamy Garlic-Paprika Shrimp Skillet**

Looking for a delicious and easy weeknight dinner? This Creamy Garlic-Paprika Shrimp Skillet is perfect! It’s packed with flavor, requires minimal cleanup, and is gentle on the joints (no chopping marathon required!).

**Ingredients:**

* 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

* 1 tbsp olive oil

* 4 cloves garlic, minced (or use pre-minced for extra ease!)

* 1 tbsp sweet paprika

* 1/2 tsp dried oregano

* 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick – omit if you prefer mild)

* 1/2 cup chicken broth

* 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (for a dairy-free option)

* Salt and pepper to taste

* Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

* Cooked rice or crusty bread, for serving

**Instructions:**

1. **Sauté the garlic:** Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it!

2. **Spice it up:** Stir in the paprika, oregano, and cayenne pepper (if using). Cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.

3. **Add the shrimp:** Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through.

4. **Creamy finish:** Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream (or coconut cream). Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has slightly thickened.

5. **Season and serve:** Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately over cooked rice or with crusty bread for dipping.
