How to Cook Spicy Garlic Shrimp

Step 1: Gather All Ingredients and Kitchenware

To save time later on, prepare all the ingredients needed to cook your spicy garlic shrimp recipe. Additionally, bring out all the kitchenware needed and make sure all your tools are clean and ready to use.

Step 2: Break the Sriracha Stix into Pieces

The @srirachaseasoningstix I ordered arrived last week and just today got around to opening the package and checking them out. Couldn’t decided on one flavor to try so bought the four-pack that includes Classic Sriracha, Sriracha Jalapeño, Sriracha Butter Garlic and Blend X. Now, I need to put them to the test and try ‘em out. Guess they’d be just as good in veggies as meat. . . #sriracha #srirachastix #srirachaseasoningstix #foodie

Break each Sriracha stix into smaller pieces. While how small you want to make the stix is up to you, make sure you break each of them into at least three pieces. That way, you’ll have at least 18 pieces of Sriracha to match your 18 shrimp.

Step 3: Insert the Sriracha Stix into the Shrimp

Slip your small Sriracha stix into each piece of raw shrimp. This will give the shrimp a tangy, spicy flavor without having to marinate it overnight.

Step 4: Drain the Can of Pineapple Chunks

Open the can of pineapple chunks and drain its juice using a colander. You’ll only need the actual pineapple chunks for this recipe.

Step 5: Heat the Electric Skillet

Set the electric skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is at the desired temperature, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Stir with a spatula for a minute or two until butter completely dissolves.

While you can use any other pans to cook this recipe, we recommend an electric skillet because it allows you to have complete control over the temperature. After all, you don’t want to overcook or undercook the shrimp.

Step 6: Cook the Shrimp Until Pink

Add all 18 pieces of shrimp that you’ve inserted with the Sriracha stix to the skillet. Season them with salt and black pepper. Stir for about two to three minutes until they are pink.

Step 7: Serve Immediately
