1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Prepare the Shrimp:
Pat shrimp dry with paper towels. Season with paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Cook the Shrimp:
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the shrimp and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
Make the Sauce:

Stir in minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer.

Simmer for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
