Ingredients  

  • 2 lbs shrimp (any size), peeled and deveined
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup Frank's RedHot Sauce
  • Blue cheese dressing, for serving
  • Celery sticks, for serving

Instructions 

  • Preheat the grill to medium, or alternately, preheat a grill pan over medium heat.
  • Toss the shrimp in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt and pepper.
  • Combine the melted butter and hot sauce in a separate large bowl. Set aside.
  • Grill the shrimp for 2-4 minutes on each side, depending on how large they are, and then transfer them immediately to the bowl containing the sauce. Toss to coat well.
  • Serve the shrimp with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the shrimp! They cook quickly, so remove them from the heat as soon as they turn opaque to avoid a rubbery texture.
  • If you’re not a fan of too much heat, start with less hot sauce and add more to taste.
  • For the best texture and flavor, serve the shrimp immediately after cooking.
  • If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a little butter and sauté on the stove for a few minutes to restore some of their original juiciness.
