Recipe Information
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
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
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.
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.
Remove the cooked shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
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.
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.
Transfer the shrimp to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
