Oil – Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for this recipe. Onions – red onions, yellow onions, or white onions; use whichever you have. Tomato Paste – It gives a bright and bold flavor to each bite. Red Pepper Flakes – Adjust according to your spice level. Others – You will also need garlic, chicken broth, unsweetened heavy cream, ground paprika (or red chili powder), freshly squeezed lemon juice, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. You can substitute heavy cream with cashew cream if you want something lighter or dairy-free. Season the shrimp with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper.

Garnish with 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve!
