Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
- 2 tbsp Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large bowl.
Drizzle the shrimp with olive oil and season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Thread the shrimp onto metal or soaked wooden skewers for easier grilling. Leave a small space between each shrimp to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the shrimp turn pink and slightly charred. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the hot sauce and mix until fully combined. Remove from heat.
Transfer the grilled shrimp to a large bowl and pour the Buffalo sauce over the top. Toss gently to coat the shrimp evenly.
Arrange the shrimp on a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
