Grilled Buffalo Shrimp

I’m always looking for new ways to serve shrimp, be it tossed with spicy black spaghetti or doused in a sweet and tangy chili sauce. But the second I spotted the recipe for these Buffalo-style shrimp, I knew I had to fire up the flames and get my grill pan ready.

After a quick sear, the shrimp are tossed in fiery butter sauce before being dipped in cool, creamy blue cheese dressing. The traditional wing preparation takes on a light and fresh flavor, perfect for summertime barbecues or gameday snacking. So grab your grill (pan) and celebrate the Fourth of July with classic American eats.

And get ready for pie-a-palooza on July 5th, as I join Pie Party organizer Shauna Ahern and fellow food blogging pie fanatics in posting all of our buttery, flaky, fruit-filled, chocolate-loaded, nut-topped favorites. A hint: My pie includes a homemade toasted marshmallow topping … stay tuned!
