This is an easy dish for ball games or to take to parties. I like to make sure additional sauce covers the shrimp when served. Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing, if desired.

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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp for the best results. Frozen shrimp can be used, but they should be thawed and patted dry before cooking.
  • To make sure the shrimp are evenly coated in the sauce, toss them in a large bowl. This will also help to prevent the shrimp from sticking together.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. This will cause them to steam instead of fry, and they will not be as crispy.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are golden brown and cooked through. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard are all great options.

Conclusion:

Easy Buffalo Shrimp is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. It is perfect for parties or game day gatherings. The shrimp are crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and spicy. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
