Chili Shrimp
I love shrimp, especially when I cook shrimp with chili.
This chili shrimp recipe is made of shrimp, Thai sweet chili sauce and lime.
To spice up the heat level, I added some Roaster brand chili garlic sauce.
The shrimp is spicy, sticky, sweet and savory, with the citrusy tang of lime juice.
This recipe takes only 15 minutes to make for dinner and probably the best shrimp recipe you can make in a jiffy.
It really is finger-lickin’ good!

Hi! Can you just tell me if you used raw or cooked shrimp? Also do you think you could somehow do these in a crock pot or something as an appetizer? Or maybe you have another appetizer shrimp that would be better for a crock pot, Thank you so much!
Raw shrimp. Always use raw shrimp for the best flavors. Do not cook shrimp in a crock pot.
