Way better than buffalo wings, and lower in fat! Sooo quick and easy, too! Shrimp are sauteed right in the buffalo sauce for optimum flavor, rather than deep fried. Adjust hot sauce amounts to suit your taste, and a dash or so of your favorite BBQ sauce added will mellow it if you'd like it milder. Below is a medium spicy recipe.

SERVES 2 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 dash salt
1 dash ground pepper
2 tablespoons hot sauce (recommended Frank's or Texas Pete)
1 teaspoon barbecue sauce (optional)
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

Directions

1
Saute garlic in olive oil and butter over medium heat until translucent, being careful not to brown it, about 2 minutes.
2
Add a dash of salt and pepper, then hot sauce, and cook until garlic is softened, about a minute or two more. Again, do not brown it or it will become bitter!
3
Taste and adjust seasonings. Add BBQ sauce if desired, or more hot sauce if you'd like it spicier. More butter can be added if desired, to make it milder as well.
4
Add shrimp and saute until done. (Pink and slightly curled).
5
Remove from heat, toss with parsley.

Very yummy! I didn't use bbq sauce though. My only complaint is the sauce wasn't thick enough.

It was excellent. It had just enough spice, but not too much! I didnt use the BBQ sauce, but I served it over rice with a touch of ranch dressing. My kids loved it! So good, thanks!

Delicious! I used less butter & no olive oil, and subbed garlic paste for the cloves (yep, pantry a bit bare!). Spicier than I thought it would be. Broiled, open-faced, on sourdough w/ melted cheddar on top & served w/ a side of ranch dressing. My husband thought this was a terrific Friday-night dinner.

These were very tasty. I sprinkled the shrimp with a lime pepper blend and added a little blue cheese dressing. I didn't use the barbeque sauce either, also adding a touch more hot sauce.
