If you follow me you know I love buffalo flavor ANYTHING. So I like to experiment and find ways I can eat buffalo without the fried repercussions. This is one of my buffalo recipes that I absolutely LOVE! It is also so easy. It satisfies my buffalo craving without the heavy fried feeling from wings.
I prepare these buffalo shrimp in romain “tacos”, but you can also serve these shrimp over rice, or in corn/flour tortillas. When taco Tuesday comes around, change it up with this easy and healthy recipe!
