Spicy garlic butter shrimp
Perfect for meal prep, this dish combines succulent shrimp with a kick of sriracha and savory Japanese BBQ sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 lb shrimp head off, tail on, deveined
- 3 tbsp butter
- 4 garlic minced
- 2 scallion (green and white) chopped
- 1-2 tbsp sriracha
- 2-3 tbsp Spicy Japanese Barbecue Sauce (Bachan brand)
- creole seasoning if needed
serve with
- 4 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
- Start by patting the shrimp dry with a paper towel. This helps them sear nicely in the pan.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the scallion and shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they turn pink and opaque.
- Stir in the sriracha and spicy Japanese barbecue sauce, coating the shrimp evenly. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Sprinkle creole seasoning if needed.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped scallions over the shrimp.
- Serve the spicy butter garlic shrimp over a bed of cooked rice. Garnish with extra scallions or a squeeze of lime if desired.
