Instructions
- You're going to freak over how fast this one is.
- Preheat oven to 365 degrees Fahrenheit. Defrost if using frozen, or do the "I-skipped-a-step!" happy dance if using fresh. Grab your favorite pan and saute your shrimp in a little bit of oil or butter [about 1/2 teaspoon or so!], just enough so the shrimp glisten as they cook. Season with 1/4 tsp garlic powder and a sprinkle or two of dried parsley. Once the shrimp begin to sizzle, add your buffalo sauce and stir. After just a few minutes of simmering shrimp will turn peachy-pink and opaque. I yank mine from the stove-top just as they begin to turn, leaving them just slightly under-cooked. They'll finish the cooking process in the oven!
- Spritz your mini muffin pan with olive oil and line with won-ton wrappers to create cups. Spray lightly with oil once more and bake for 5 minutes. Remove from oven and spoon 2-3 shrimp into each won-ton cup. Drizzle a little bit of the leftover buffalo sauce over each cup and bake for 5-8 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Top with a drizzle of ranch or blue cheese dressing and a small mountain of red onion, green onion, and crumbled feta and commence face stuffing.
- Of course you get bonus points for serving them with a big fat salad.
