Aunt Barbra's Firecracker Shrimp image

This recipe comes from my Aunt Barbra in Texas. I have made some minor adjustments to the recipe. The original recipe called for 1 cup of butter, I use 1/4 cup or feel free to use olive oil instead. A combination of the 2 will also work. You can control the heat of this dish by using either mild or spicy diced tomatoes.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but these shrimp were delicious! The sauce was flavorful and not too hot.

I had some trouble finding firecracker sauce, but I was able to substitute another hot sauce and it turned out great.

Firecracker shrimp gets its name from the spicy kick it packs, thanks to a combination of cayenne pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, and Sriracha. It's a perfect party appetizer or weeknight meal.
