A festive, romantic meal for two in just 20 minutes? It’s true, and it’s perfect for the busy holiday season. You’ll quick-sauté shrimp in butter until tender, then use the pan to build a truly show-stopping sauce. Simmer up a mix of shallot, chicken stock, and lemon juice, then swirl in a luscious dollop of crème fraîche to transform it into the velvety stuff of dreams—a perfect bed for those succulent shrimp. Garnish with a vibrant duo of fresh parsley and lemon zest, then serve with homemade toasted flatbread crackers for scooping up that sauce (you won’t want to leave any behind!).

Instructions

1

Adjust oven rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce. Quarter flatbreads, then cut each piece into four squares. TIP: Stack pieces on top of each other to speed up the cutting process. In a large bowl, toss flatbread squares with 2 TBSP olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet; toast on top rack until browned, 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely (the crackers will crisp up as they cool).

2

Meanwhile, halve, peel, and mince shallot. Finely chop parsley. Zest and quarter lemon. Rinse shrimp* under cold water, then pat dry with paper towels. Season all over with salt and pepper. Melt 4 TBSP butter in a medium, preferably nonstick, pan over medium heat. Add shrimp; cook, stirring occasionally, until opaque and cooked through, 4-5 minutes. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate using a slotted spoon (keep as much butter in pan as possible). Tent with foil to keep warm. Do not wipe out pan.

3

Return pan used for shrimp over medium-high heat. Add shallot and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened 3-4 minutes. Add stock concentrate, half the parsley, ¼ cup water, and juice from 2 lemon wedges. Cook, stirring, until sauce has reduced slightly, 30-60 seconds. Remove pan from heat. Whisk in crème fraîche until evenly combined.

4

Transfer creamy lemon-herb sauce to a shallow bowl. Top sauce with cooked shrimp. Garnish with lemon zest and remaining parsley. Serve with flatbread crackers and remaining lemon wedges on the side.

*Shrimp are fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
