Oven Roasted Buffalo Shrimp

By altering the levels of cayenne pepper and hot sauce, you can really heat these up according to your own tastes.

When we think party snacks, we immediately think hot wings but we wanted to do something that had that great “Buffalo Sauce” flavor but without the labor-intensiveness of frying chicken wings.

Enter Oven-Roasted Buffalo Shrimp.

We really liked the brightness the fresh lemon zest added to the palette in the background but for a more traditional Buffalo-style shrimp you could certainly leave off the lemon. We think the lemon really makes this dish pop. Enjoy.
