Prepare the Cream Sauce
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and season with smoked paprika and black pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
