Ingredients

• 1 pound raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.5 cup dairy-free hot sauce
• 2 tablespoons dairy-free butter alternative
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 whole lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.

Step 2

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, drizzle shrimp with olive oil and toss to coat. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the shrimp and toss again until they are evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the shrimp in a single layer (cook in batches if necessary) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and cooked through.

Step 4

Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the dairy-free butter alternative. Once melted, add the dairy-free hot sauce, stirring until combined.

Step 6

Return the shrimp to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat with the buffalo sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to ensure the shrimp are heated through.

Step 7

Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
