This easy Sriracha Buttered Shrimp recipe is perfectly spicy for National Hot & Spicy Day! And, they’re easy to make!

What do you plan to make for National Hot & Spicy Day?

Tomorrow is National Hot & Spicy day…are you ready for it?  🙂  You know I am!

Sriracha Buttered Shrimp | Inspiration Kitchen Last year, I posted my Hot & Spicy Chili recipe two and a half weeks before National Hot & Spicy Food day because I could hardly stand the excitement!  You all know how much I love savory and especially hot & spicy!  I am the spice-loving-queen!

So, of course, every year I impatiently wait for this day all.year.long.  🙂  And now, it’s heeeeerrrrreeeee!!!!!!

Now, it’s time to add some heattttt and get jiggy with it!  National Hot & Spicy Day gives us a license for it, which means we aren’t breaking the law.  🙂  

Sriracha Buttered Shrimp | Inspiration Kitchen This recipe is so great for a party appetizer (think Superbowl)!    It cooks up super quickly, and you can pour it in a serving dish with skewers on the side. How easy is that?  Let your guests dig in and serve themselves – they won’t be able to resist after just one bite.

We loved this recipe, and I think you will too.  It’s savory, spicy, pepper-y – with a spicy garlic sauce that you’ll want to dip your bread into!

Sriracha Buttered Shrimp | Inspiration KitchenA couple of heat cautions for you:  if you and/or your guests are sensitive to bold, spicy flavors, just cut back on the Sriracha.  We used the 6 tablespoons the recipe called for, but it would be just as flavorful with less.  As I always say, taste as you go, so you don’t blow someone’s head off with the heat!  🙂

Want more recipes to be tempted to make tomorrow?  Here’s a few of our favorites!

Enjoy!

    I made this dish tonight for dinner. My husband and son both really liked it! Said to make it again anytime. I served it with rice pilaf. I used 3 tablespoons of Sriracha and it was enough for us. My son is 14 and is a big Sriracha fan so I made it with him in mind. I plan to make Sriracha chicken wings for him superbowl weekend. Thanks so much for this terrific recipe! I expect it will be a family favorite especially during the summer.

      Thanks Allie! I love spicy foods, and although they are sometimes to hot for readers, I figure that they can always tone down the spice a bit! Have a lovely Saturday!
