Spicy Orange Garlic Shrimp

  • 24 whole Shrimp
  • ¾ cups Orange Juice
  • 3 t. minced garlic
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter, divided
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • ½ teaspoons Cayenne Pepper


Add garlic to 3/4 cup orange juice. Use a good quality O.J. for this! Measure out and add all of the spices to the orange juice as well.

In a large skillet – melt 2 tbsp. butter over high heat. Once the butter has melted, add shrimp and cook for 30-60 seconds and begin flipping them over, cooking for an additional 30-60 seconds until shrimp become opaque. Remove shrimp from pan, leaving it on high heat.

Once the butter and drippings begin to smoke ever so slightly, add the spicy orange garlic mixture to the pan and give it all a good stir. Add the last tbsp. butter to the sauce and after a couple minutes of cooking and stirring the sauce should be slightly thicker.

Return the cooked shrimp to the pan to give them a nice coating of the sauce. Allow this intermingling of souls to take place for a few seconds and then it’s time for the fireworks.
