Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Seasoning

  • 1 lb fresh or thawed, peeled, and deveined shrimp
  • 2 tbsp blackened seasoning (blend of paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, and herbs)

Cooking Fats and Aromatics

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Mushrooms and Broth

  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Cream and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Pasta

  • 8 oz wide egg noodles or pasta of choice

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Season the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry thoroughly, then generously coat with blackened seasoning to ensure each bite has smoky, spicy flavor. Set aside while prepping other ingredients.
  2. Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms: In a skillet over medium heat, heat butter and olive oil. Add finely chopped onions and minced garlic, sauté until softened and fragrant. Add sliced cremini mushrooms and cook until they release moisture and turn golden brown.
  3. Cook the Shrimp: Push vegetables to the side of the skillet. Add the seasoned shrimp and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until shrimp turn opaque and slightly charred. Remove shrimp from pan and set aside to prevent overcooking.
  4. Create the Creamy Stroganoff Sauce: Deglaze the pan with chicken or vegetable broth, scraping up browned bits from the bottom. Stir in sour cream or Greek yogurt and simmer gently until sauce thickens and develops a silky texture.
  5. Combine and Serve: Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, coating them well in the creamy sauce. Toss cooked wide egg noodles into the mixture or serve the shrimp stroganoff over the noodles. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley for brightness.

Notes

  • Pat shrimp dry before seasoning to ensure spices adhere and shrimp sear properly.
  • Do not overcook shrimp; remove once opaque to keep them tender.
  • Use fresh cremini or button mushrooms to add earthiness and texture.
  • Make your own blackened seasoning blend for freshest, balanced heat.
  • Simmer sour cream gently to avoid curdling and to achieve a smooth sauce.
