Directions
Heat some oil in a pan over medium heat. Toss in the shrimp and cook them for about 1 to 2 minutes until they just start to turn pink. Sprinkle in the onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, paprika, red pepper flakes, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Pour in a little water to keep the spices from sticking or burning, then stir everything together. Let the shrimp cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re firm and cooked through—just be careful not to overdo it. Finally, add a knob of butter, give it a good mix until it melts into the sauce, and then take the pan off the heat.
What To Serve With This Dish
Serve these bites hot with a side of cooling ranch or garlic aioli dip to balance the spice. They also pair well with a crisp green salad or crunchy vegetable sticks. For a party, arrange them on a platter with toothpicks for easy grabbing.
How To Preserve This Dish
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid making the shrimp rubbery. It’s best to enjoy them fresh, as the texture and flavor are at their peak right after cooking.
