Step 1

Finely grate the lemon zest. Squeeze 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice. Set aside zest and juice.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. When butter sizzles, add the shallot. Cook until soft, 3 - 5 minutes. Add the garlic; cook for 1 minute.

Remove from heat and gradually stir in the Creme Fraiche and 2 tablespoons of the parsley.

Step 6

Coo over medium-low heat until mixture thickens slightly, about 3 minutes.

I agree with Teresa about this being too “soupy”, but it does taste quite good. Easy to make, too. I served it with an orzo and rice dish.

We loved the flavor of this dish...I'm not sure if this is a soup or if it was to be served over rice...it had a lot of liquid by the time it finished cooking...but it was delicious!...Hubby thinks serving it over rice would have been perfect...made for FYC tag game...
