Buffalo Shrimp
- 1 pound large (2125 count or 2630 count) shrimp, peeled (tail-on, if desired) and deveined
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch sea salt
- Olive oil spray
- 2 tablespoons light butter
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (an all-natural one like Wing Time, not a thin one like Tabasco), plus more if desired
- Rinse the shrimp, and then pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- To a large resealable plastic bag add the flour, cayenne, garlic, and salt.
- Toss to combine.
- Add the shrimp and toss thoroughly to coat them evenly.
- Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- When hot, lightly mist the pan with spray and add the shrimp in a single layer, working in batches, if necessary.
- Cook them until they are lightly browned on the outsides and cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
- Remove the cooked shrimp to a plate or bowl.
- When all of the shrimp are cooked, turn off the burner.
- Add the butter and hot sauce to the skillet and, using a wooden spoon, stir constantly until the butter is just melted, being careful not to overcook it.
- Return the shrimp to the pan.
- Toss to coat them completely with the sauce.
- Season with additional hot sauce, if desired.
- Let the shrimp sit for 5 minutes, and then toss them again (the sauce will thicken slightly and stick better after sitting).
- Serve immediately.
