Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup hot sauce (preferably Frank's RedHot)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
Step 3
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not crowded to ensure even cooking.
Step 4
Bake the shrimp in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are pink and opaque, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
Step 5
While the shrimp are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the hot sauce and lemon juice, stirring until well combined. Remove from heat.
Step 6
Once the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the shrimp, gently tossing to coat them evenly.
Step 7
Garnish the buffalo shrimp with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately as an appetizer or pair with a low-carb side dish for a complete meal.
