Chili Garlic Shrimp

1 lb. peeled, deveined, large fresh shrimp
1.6 oz. package buffalo wing seasoning
5 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 tsp. minced garlic
1/4 tsp. (or to taste) red pepper flakes
1/4 C. fresh cilantro, chopped
juice of 1 lime
lime wedges (optional)

Rinse shrimp in cold water and pat dry. Combine shrimp and buffalo seasoning in a plastic bag and shake to coat. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes. When butter has melted, increase heat to medium-high, being careful not to burn butter or garlic.
Add shrimp when butter begins to pop and sizzle. Cook and stir 4-5 min. or until shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
Remove pan from heat, and stir in cilantro and lime juice. Garnish with lime wedges, if desired.

  1. Love the savory spices! If you want to give chopsticks a try, this is a great opportunity. Try serving with sushi rice...it sticks together so you can hold onto it.
