Firecracker Shrimp Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup chili-garlic sauce
• 2 tablespoons spicy chili oil
• 1 tablespoon sriracha
• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon cayenne (use paprika for milder, or ghost pepper flakes for hotter!)
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 pound shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• FOR GARNISH: Fresh chopped parsley (spicy chili flakes, sliced hot peppers)

Steps

1. 1

   Whisk together the chili-garlic sauce, chili oil, sriracha, vinegar, honey, cayenne, lime juice and a bit of salt and pepper together in a small bowl until mixed. This is your firecracker shrimp marinade and glaze.

2. 2

   Add the shrimp to a large bowl and add half of firecracker shrimp marinade. Toss to evenly coat the shrimp. Refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes, though you can cook immediately if desired.

3. 3

   Heat the olive oil in a large pan to medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through.

4. 4

   Brush on the remaining firecracker shrimp glaze. Reserve any leftover marinade/glaze for serving.

5. 5

   Garnish and serve!
