Spicey Orange Shrimp
I made this spicey shrimp for Hubby’s birthday dinner as a first course. We both really enjoyed it. It has a nice level of kick followed by the sweetness of the orange. We’ll definitely be making this again. I think I got too impatient with the sauce because it didn’t thicken. But it was still really good. This would also be great served over pasta like shrimp scampi.
Spicey Orange Shrimp – from thePioneerWoman.com
2 dozen 26-30 per pound deveined shrimp
3/4 cup orange juice
2-4 cloves garlic
3 Tbsp salted butter
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
Peel and dry shrimp. Set aside on a paper towel.
Thinly slice garlic cloves (I minced using my garlic press). Add garlic and other spices to the OJ.
In a large skillet over high heat, melt 2 Tbsp butter. Add shrimp and cook 30-60 seconds before beginning to flip. Cook for another 30-60 seconds. Remove shrimp from pan. Leave heat on high.
Once butter and drippings have begun to smoke slightly, add the OJ mixture to the pan and stir. Add the last Tbsp of butter. After a few minutes, the sauce will be thicker.
Return shrimp to pan and toss to coat
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
I loooove this stuff. I’ve always called it Muddy Buddy, though.
I made this as treats to the humans from our 2 dogs. My mom fell in love with it and went out right away and bought the ingredients. Merry Christmas.
Everyone always raves about this stuff but I confess: I’ve never had it! I was allergic to peanuts during childhood 🙁
But it looks so good that I think I need to give it a try now!
This stuff is sooo good. I’ve never made it myself, but have had it several times. Perhaps I’ll make it sometime soon.
One of my college roommates made this for us, and I’ve been in love with them since! We usually use Crispix, though, which is rice and corn. =)
We love that stuff too! We make it for our friends all the time and they can’t stop eating it.
Like Joy said, we use Crispix too.
Why is this called Puppy Chow mix? At first I thought it was for dogs and was alarmed by the chocolate chips in the ingredients…
No idea why it’s called Puppy Chow… That’s just what we always called it…
