was really good just needed less hot sauce be really gentle with it. I will next time I make it
While I thought this was an unlikely and unusual combination, I made these for my Superbowl party mainly because I count carbs and wanted to be sure that I had something to eat, too. The shrimp was absolutely delicious! So flavorful and made a beautiful presentation. Everyone gobbled this up even though they weren’t watching carbs. You’d never know this was low carb. I will for sure make this again.
These are an excellent appetizer. The look great and taste even better.
Great!
Made these for a small gathering and everyone fell in love with them. They kept asking me for the recipe.
This recipe is a great alternate for chicken wings….something different to bight into. It is great to serve both to give your guests options.
MMMM This shrimp is the best, I watch your show and have been losing weight with out feeling like I’m missing any thing. That blah fat free fananic Mr Calorie Commando could take a few cooking lessons from you and probably lose some weight himself. Love your show
Absolutely perfect for low carb diet.
These Bacon wrapped buffalo shimp are better than hot wings and, in my opinion, much easier to make, not as messy to eat and more elegant than wings.
These were great! Never thought Low-carb cooking tasted so good!!!! Thanks for posting this recipe!!!
