HOT-SAUCE SHRIMP



Hot-Sauce Shrimp image

So much more than a condiment for your morning eggs, hot sauce can add kick to dips, soups, marinades, sauces and more. Because most include vinegar and salt in addition to chiles, all hot sauce needs to become a silky pan sauce is fat. That's the approach used in this super-quick recipe, which tastes like a cross between Buffalo chicken wings and chile shrimp. After charring some scallions in the skillet, shrimp are cooked until plump and pink, then both are tossed with butter and hot sauce until glossy. Because hot sauces vary greatly in terms of heat, start with one tablespoon, then add more as you wish. If it's too spicy for you, add more butter, or serve it with rice, crusty bread, beer, yogurt or ranch dressing to cut the heat.

Juan's Favorite Hot, Buttered Garlic Shrimp image

Ok, let me just say that if I make shrimp any other way, my hubby pouts because I didn't make it this way! If you like shrimp and garlic butter, this is the recipe for you!!

Provided by SlipC

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 45m

Yield 4-5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 lbs unpeeled shrimp (I use the large ones)
1/2 cup butter
1 -2 tablespoon minced garlic (depending on taste)
garlic powder
lemon pepper seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 deg.
  • Mix garlic in with butter.
  • In 9x13 pan, place shrimp and dot with garlic butter.
  • Sprinkle heavily with seasonings.
  • Bake uncovered for about 30 minutes or until shrimp is opaque, stirring once or twice during cooking to make sure the shrimp is cooking evenly.
  • Serve with the butter sauce either in the bowl with the shrimp or in a seperate bowl for dipping.
  • We always eat this with hot white rice.
  • Make sure to have plenty of napkins available!

Tips:

  • Use fresh shrimp: Fresh shrimp will have a sweeter flavor and a firmer texture than frozen shrimp.
  • Poach the shrimp gently: Do not boil the shrimp, as this will toughen them. Instead, bring the poaching liquid to a simmer and then add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes, or until they are just cooked through.
  • Use a flavorful poaching liquid: The poaching liquid is what will flavor the shrimp, so make sure to use a flavorful liquid. A good option is to use a combination of water, white wine, lemon juice, and herbs.
  • Serve the shrimp immediately: Poached shrimp are best served immediately, while they are still hot and juicy. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as melted butter, lemon butter, or cocktail sauce.

Conclusion:

Warm spicy butter poached shrimp is a quick and easy dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The shrimp are poached in a flavorful liquid that includes butter, garlic, and chili flakes. The result is a shrimp that is tender and juicy with a slightly spicy kick. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
