With a name like firecracker shrimp, you know these grilled shrimp have to be spicy. They are spicy but not to spicy that your mouth burns like you literally just put a firecracker in it. I wouldn’t do that to you!
Keto firecracker shrimp are also buttery since they are bathed in melted butter with the heat bringing seasoning. This has become my favorite shrimp recipe to take to cookouts or to have for an easy weeknight dinner over the summer since I fire them right on the grill.
