Buffalo Shrimp (Oamc)

CraftScout's Note:

This recipe comes from 30DayGourmet.com, a great resource for OAMC meal planning. This recipe can be made using the big bags of frozen already cooked shrimp, and can be made hot or not depending on whether you add the hot sauce (of course, this changes the recipe from "Buffalo" shrimp to just Shrimp in a Yummy Marinade!). I made these as written using Frank's Hot Sauce, and it was good buffalo flavor, but not nuclear hot, which I loved, but my chili head DH just thought was good. Prep time includes cooking (but not peeling) the shrimp. Recipe will double, triple, or more easily.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1/4 cup oil
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons hot sauce (optional)
• 1 lb shrimp, cooked peeled and deveined

Directions:

1. TO FREEZE: Combine ingredients from oil through hot sauce (if using) to make marinade. Place shrimp in labeled freezer bag or container. Pour marinade over shrimp, seal, and freeze.
2. TO COOK: Thaw in refrigerator. You have several options for cooking: skewer shrimp and broil or grill; or simply panfry for a few minutes. You only need to heat these up, they are already cooked. Discard extra marinade.
3. OPTIONS: Use as an appy with ranch dip, add these to pasta (with blue cheese crumbles, YUM!), serve over rice, turn into tacos, endless really!

This was tasty! I didn't freeze it first, just used the precooked shrimp and threw them in a plastic baggie with the "marinade" and let it chill out in the fridge for a few hours. I heated them up in a pan on the stove. It couldn't have been any easier! Thanks for sharing!
