An Appetizer With Firecracker Power!
Google “Firecracker Shrimp” and you will be busy scrolling through hundreds of different incarnations of this dish. It all depends on exactly how “spicy” you want it and how fresh the seafood purchase.
The reason we love this fun, fresh, spicy and very delicious recipe is because the ingredients are so simple and who doesn’t almost always have a packet of Eggroll/Springroll wrappers in the freezer? Always start your fish and seafood meals with the fresh items you can find everyday at Motts Channel Seafood.
This can be served as an appetizer or double it up with some tasty sides and call it dinner…it’s all good to us!
