Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
Arrange the shrimp in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not crowded to ensure even cooking.
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.
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.
Once the shrimp are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the shrimp, gently tossing to coat them evenly.
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.
