Ingredients
- 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup hot sauce (low sodium)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir in the low sodium hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper until well combined. Simmer for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat and add lemon juice. Stir to combine and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque.
Step 4
Once the shrimp are cooked, reduce the heat to low. Pour the prepared buffalo sauce over the shrimp and toss to coat the shrimp evenly with the sauce. Allow it to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes to meld the flavors.
Step 5
Transfer the buffalo shrimp to a serving dish, garnish with fresh chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
