One thing I love about making shrimp is how quickly it cooks. Add on a few extra minutes to mix up the sauce in this Sweet & Spicy Buttermilk Shrimp recipe, and you’ve got a tasty dinner on the table in 15 minutes or less.
This recipe could be considered a better-for-you (and not as spicy) version of Bang Bang Shrimp (which is deep-fried), and my child who “thinks” she doesn’t like shrimp was even willing to try it. Hey, with all the tasty stuff this shrimp is coated in you might just forget what you’re biting into on the inside!
Serve this with a green veggie, or even some slaw, and brown rice (we love those quick-cooking packets), and your quick and easy dinner is done!

Is there a good dairy-free sub for buttermilk? Can I use oat milk and vinegar?
Hi Amy, while we haven’t tried a dairy-free sub, it looks like oat milk and apple cider vinegar or even lemon juice would work. – Nicole
We tried this tonight and it was so good! My whole family loved it! It came together much quicker than I anticipated, too!

I don’t usually have buttermilk on hand. Is it necessary or can you substitute it for something else?
You can make your own buttermilk easily. For this recipe you would put 1 1/2 tsp of vinegar in your measuring cup then fill to the 1/2 C line with milk. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Lisa, you forgot to tell us how to cook the shrimp! I’m guessing it’s air fried?

Do you use already cooked shrimp? If yes, what do you use the coconut oil for? This looks amazing, but I feel like you left a step out.
Ha! I just said the same thing and guessed air fried. But you are right, the recipe did call for coconut oil! I think the cooking step is missing because eating wet flour would not be delish, haha.
