Ingredients

  • 1 lb Shrimp (fresh or frozen/thawed)
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp ground cayenne pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • 1 TBSP avocado oil or favorite healthy oil
  • 2-4 tsp sriracha chili sauce (adjust to taste)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Clean and peel shrimp, defrosting if needed. Lately we've been buying frozen, deveined, easy-peel shrimp. All I have to do is defrost, peel, and cook! You can also buy your shrimp already peeled if you'd like!
  2. Pat shrimp dry and season with paprika, cayenne, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat both sides.
  3. Heat a large pan or skillet to medium-high heat with 1 TBSP of oil and sauté your shrimp. Cook on each side for about 2 minutes until shrimp curl and become opaque. The cook time will depend on the heat setting you choose and the size of your shrimp, but regardless they’ll be perfectly cooked in a matter of minutes.
  4. Add Sriracha (start with a little and add more to taste based on spice preference) and toss shrimp to coat. Enjoy hot!
