Fried shrimp swimming in a Coastal Butter Buffalo sauce - we're diving in with this easier-than-you-think recipe by Chef Christian. Our Coastal Butter blend is all the fresh garnishes you typically find with a seafood boil, mixed right into this rich, herbaceous, and savory blend. We use real butter, lemon, warm nutmeg, and cinnamon mixed with celery salt, paprika, mustard, and cayenne to create our version of a traditional seafood (and everything else) seasoning. 

Coastal Butter Buffalo Shrimp

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons Spiceology Coastal Butter blend

  • 1 tablespoon Spiceology Salt Pepper Garlic blend
