4 servings
40 minutes
Spicy shrimp with blue cheese and celery is an exquisite dish inspired by traditional American cuisine, particularly the famous 'Buffalo Shrimp.' Tender shrimp soaked in a spicy butter and pepper sauce are perfectly complemented by the freshness of crunchy celery and the rich flavor of blue cheese. This contrast of flavors—spicy, creamy, and fresh—makes the dish not just an appetizer but a true gastronomic experience. The blue cheese sauce enriched with lemon juice and herbs adds depth and balances the spiciness of the shrimp. Perfect as a stunning party appetizer or for lovers of bold flavor combinations.
