BUFFALO SHRIMP (OAMC)
This recipe comes from 30DayGourmet.com, a great resource for OAMC meal planning. This recipe can be made using the big bags of frozen already cooked shrimp, and can be made hot or not depending on whether you add the hot sauce (of course, this changes the recipe from "Buffalo" shrimp to just Shrimp in a Yummy Marinade!). I made these as written using Frank's Hot Sauce, and it was good buffalo flavor, but not nuclear hot, which I loved, but my chili head DH just thought was good. Prep time includes cooking (but not peeling) the shrimp. Recipe will double, triple, or more easily.

EASY RITZ BUFFALO SHRIMP
I haven't tried this yet but I found in at the grocery store in a "Game Day Greats" recipe pamphlet and it sounded very easy and delicious...plus it is baked! You could also substitute 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces for the shrimp.

GRILLED BUFFALO SHRIMP
Out of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. One of Cleveland Cavaliers' Donyell Marshall's favorite recipes. Originally called for broiling but everything is better grilled! I add more hot sauce than is called for and it still isn't too spicy.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place 2 rimmed baking sheets in oven to heat. Stir together lemon zest, garlic, celery seeds, paprika, cayenne, 2 teaspoons salt, the honey, and oil in a large bowl. Add shrimp, and toss to coat well.
- Place shrimp in a single layer on hot pans. Roast, without flipping, until browned on bottoms and opaque throughout, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the dip: Stir together lemon juice, sour cream, celery leaves, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Serve with cooked shrimp.
Tips:
- Choose fresh shrimp: Using fresh shrimp is essential for the best results. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly translucent appearance.
- Use a light coating on the shrimp: The coating should be thin and even so that the shrimp can still be crispy. If the coating is too thick, it will become soggy.
- Cook the shrimp until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the shrimp are cooked through and have a crispy coating.
- Serve the shrimp with your favorite dipping sauce: Buffalo sauce is the classic choice, but you can also try other sauces such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
Conclusion:
Buffalo shrimp is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for parties, game days, or any other occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own buffalo shrimp that is sure to impress your friends and family.
