Shrimp in creamy garlic sauce with adjika is an exquisite and quick dish of Mediterranean and Caucasian cuisines, perfect for both everyday dinners and festive tables. The combination of heavy cream, spicy adjika and aromatic garlic creates a rich, velvety sauce that highlights the delicate flavor of large shrimp. The dish takes only 15–20 minutes to prepare, making it an excellent choice for those who appreciate tasty and fast food. Serve the shrimp with rice, pasta or simply with slices of fresh bread for dipping in the sauce.

The shrimp are thawed in cool water, thoroughly washed and drained. In a skillet, heat butter with adjika, then fry the shrimp until golden brown. Add finely chopped garlic and dill, season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour in slightly warmed heavy cream and simmer covered over low heat for 8–10 minutes.
