Chili Garlic Butter Shrimp Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Chili Garlic Butter Shrimp is an enhanced version of garlic butter shrimp wherein I added fresh chili peppers and chopped scallions. I thought that the original recipe was a temptation because it got me to eat a hefty amount of rice. It was so tasty and delicious to the point that I lost control. I did not realize that this version would be insane; I lost count on how much rice I had. It was so good. You will see what I mean when you get a chance to cook this dish.

Chili Garlic Butter Shrimp Recipe

I used a bit of cooking oil in this recipe to help the butter increase its smoking point. Oil mixed with butter prevents the butter from turning brown and getting burnt quickly. This was done in order to let the garlic cook longer until it is somewhat brown and crisp;  it also allowed extra time to cook the chili pepper before the shrimp was added.

This recipe is a winner because it is simple, quick, and produces great results. I recommend you to eat the shrimp with rice using your hands to enjoy it better. However, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards to completely remove the capsaicin (from the chili). If you think that it is too spicy for you, grab a saucer of vinegar and dip the shrimp in it. It reduces the spice and gives you a whole new flavor that pairs well with the shrimp.

The most tasty part of the shrimp is the head. Since I was eating this with my hands, I was able to easily pull the head off  and then suck the juices from it. It was rich, spicy, and very flavorful. I needed to follow through by putting some rice in my mouth. Yummy! If you will have another dish to have with it, I think that Chili crab is a good idea.
