For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of sour cream. A splash of dry white wine added to the shrimp while cooking will add depth of flavor. Feel free to add other vegetables like spinach or asparagus to the skillet along with the shrimp. If you don't have saffron, a pinch of turmeric can add color and a subtle flavor. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil for an extra touch of richness. Use a nonstick skillet to prevent sticking while caramelizing the onions.
