Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup Whole30-compliant hot sauce

Instructions
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss until the shrimp are evenly coated.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in a single layer and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are opaque and cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the ghee to melt, then pour in the Whole30-compliant hot sauce. Stir to combine and let the sauce heat through for about 1-2 minutes.
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss them in the sauce, ensuring they are well coated.
Remove the skillet from heat. Transfer the Buffalo shrimp to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Whole30 Buffalo Shrimp!
