How to Make It
Step 1
Make the buffalo sauce first by melting the butter in a small pot over low heat. Choose a red hot sauce that is the brand Frank’s Red Hot or similar. Tabasco sauce isn’t the best choice for this recipe, but you may include some if you enjoy the flavor. Pour your preferred hot sauce into the pot of melted butter, and stir over the heat until the sauce comes together and heats through. Once the sauce has fully heated through, you can set it aside for later.
Step 2
Peel and devein jumbo shrimp, and add them to a small mixing bowl. Toss the raw shrimp with seasoned salt and olive oil until the shrimp is coated. From here you can add any additional spices you enjoy with your buffalo sauce. Some suggestions are black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, or dried ground herbs. You may wish to marinate the shrimp for up to 30 minutes, or you can continue on to the final step.
Step 3
Heat a small pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, place the marinated shrimp in the pan. Cook the shrimp on one side until they just turn golden. Flip the shrimp over and cook to the same doneness on the other side in the pan. Then, reduce the heat to medium, and pour 2-3 tablespoons of buffalo sauce into the pan. Toss and fry the shrimp in the buffalo sauce until you see the sauce cooked into the flesh. Take the pan off the stove, toss the shrimp with the remaining buffalo sauce, and serve immediately.
