Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup buffalo sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar (optional)
  • 4 cups cooked rice or cauliflower rice
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • Fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
  • Crushed peanuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry shrimp. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, grated ginger, honey, sesame oil, warm water, and rice vinegar if using. Adjust water to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency. Set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Add shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter over low heat. Stir in buffalo sauce and lemon juice.
  6. Return shrimp to the pan and toss gently to coat. Cook for another minute to meld flavors.
  7. Divide cooked rice or cauliflower rice evenly into bowls. Top with buffalo shrimp scampi, shredded carrots, chopped celery, and green onions.
  8. Drizzle peanut-ginger sauce over each bowl. Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and crushed peanuts. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubbery texture. Keep garlic on medium heat to prevent burning. Add water slowly to peanut sauce to control consistency. Use tamari and cauliflower rice for gluten-free version. Peanut butter should be smooth for best sauce texture.
