Why Make These Buffalo Shrimp Lettuce Wraps
These Buffalo shrimp are perfectly spiced and tangy. They cook up incredibly quick, with minimal ingredients. These are husband approved and perfect for a lightened up meal.
Serve the buffalo shrimp over rice, in a tortilla or even on their own. They are so good and pair with multiple things.
You can make these healthier and even more low cal by skipping the ranch drizzle, but the crunch from onions and celery is SO GOOD. Pack them up for lunch and your coworkers will be jealous.
Ingredients Needed For Buffalo Shrimp
- Shrimp. Large, raw shelled and deveined shrimp.
- Seasoning. Paprika, pepper, salt.
