Description
Blackened Shrimp Stroganoff is a bold and creamy twist on the traditional beef stroganoff. Juicy shrimp coated in spicy blackened seasoning are tossed in a rich, garlicky sour cream sauce with mushrooms and pasta, creating a luxurious yet easy weeknight meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons blackened seasoning
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 8 oz egg noodles or fettuccine
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, toss with a little olive oil, and set aside.
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with blackened seasoning until evenly coated.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and olive oil, then cook the shrimp for 1–2 minutes per side until just opaque. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more butter if needed, then sauté onions and mushrooms for 4–5 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
- Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Reduce the heat to low, then stir in sour cream and heavy cream. Mix gently until smooth — do not boil to avoid curdling.
- Return the shrimp to the sauce and toss to coat. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked pasta and stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley and a sprinkle of blackened seasoning if desired.
Notes
- For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
- Use Cajun seasoning if you don’t have blackened seasoning.
- Tastes great with rice or mashed potatoes instead of pasta.
- Do not overcook the shrimp — they should remain tender and juicy.
