Shrimp may seem like a complicated ingredient, but once it's peeled- shrimp cooks very quickly and can easily be flavored in many ways! Plus, Buffalo sauce provides flavor and spice with minimal time and effort! Simply combine hot sauce, butter, and lime juice. That's it! If it gets a little too spicy, a bit of brown sugar will help to mellow it out.

So, with just one skillet, shrimp, a 3-ingredient sauce, lettuce, and about 15 minutes- this dish can be ready and waiting for you! Or it can easily be turned into a salad. Top with ranch or bleu cheese dressing for a real Buffalo wing night feel!

What is Buffalo sauce?

Buffalo sauce is made with hot sauce plus a fat, usually butter. I usually add lime juice and sometimes brown sugar too. This creates a creamy sauce, perfect for meat and veggies! Buffalo wings, and the sauce, originated from Anchor Bar, located in Buffalo, New York…hence the name. They were created as a way to use chicken wings that had been accidentally delivered to the bar.
