Ingredients

Scale

Shrimp and Seasoning

  • 1 lb peeled and deveined medium shrimp
  • 2 tbsp blackened seasoning (paprika, cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Vegetables and Aromatics

  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

Sauces and Liquids

  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Carbs and Garnish

  • 8 oz egg noodles or pasta of choice
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Blacken the Shrimp: Pat the shrimp dry and coat evenly with blackened seasoning. Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the shrimp for 1-2 minutes per side until nicely charred. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  2. Sauté Onions, Garlic, and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add diced onions and cook until translucent. Stir in garlic and sliced mushrooms, cooking until mushrooms soften and release their juices.
  3. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits for extra flavor. Stir in heavy cream and sour cream, reduce heat to a gentle simmer, and let the sauce thicken while stirring occasionally.
  4. Combine Shrimp and Sauce: Return the blackened shrimp to the skillet and toss gently to coat in the creamy sauce. Cook for another minute or two to heat through and allow flavors to meld.
  5. Cook the Noodles and Serve: Meanwhile, boil egg noodles or your preferred pasta until al dente. Drain and plate the noodles, topping generously with the creamy blackened shrimp stroganoff. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture; watch closely while searing.
  • Make fresh blackened seasoning when possible for best flavor and to control spice levels.
  • Deglaze the skillet thoroughly with broth to capture all flavorful browned bits.
  • Use full-fat heavy cream and sour cream for a richer, creamier sauce.
  • Let cooked shrimp rest briefly after searing before adding to the sauce to keep them juicy.
