Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled, deveined, tails on or off)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 0.33 cup buffalo sauce
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp milk (optional, for thinning dip)
- 1 cup celery sticks (for serving, optional)
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to low. In the same skillet, melt the butter and stir in the buffalo sauce until smooth. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, and lemon juice. Stir until smooth. Add milk if needed to reach desired dip consistency.
Serve the buffalo shrimp immediately with blue cheese dip on the side. Accompany with celery sticks if desired. Enjoy!
