Easy Snack for New Mom - Butterfly Shrimp with Hot Sauce | Gorton’s Seafood

​Luna is already 3 months old. Ever since Luna was born, my husband Robert and I had very little time for cooking. If you are a parent, you know how tough to manage your schedule with a newborn baby. Cooking is becoming luxury. But when we need a quick and easy snack or appetizer, Gorton’s frozen seafood makes it possible. Robert became a pesco pollo vegetarian a few years ago. That’s why Gorton’s Seafood has been our favorite. 

​This time I partnered with Gorton’s to share a super easy and delicious shrimp recipe Butterfly Shrimp with you all. Our family just enjoyed this recipe so much and hope you will all like it too. 

What is Gorton’s Seafood
Yes, you probably know that this is the brand that makes the best frozen fish sticks. Gorton’s Seafood is a frozen convenience seafood brand from Gloucester a famous seaport of the US. The foods are processed sustainably with new processing methods. That’s why their products are always fresh, high quality and delicious with minimal environment impact. 

Crunchy Butterfly Shrimp 
Shrimp is a great source of protein EPA and DHA. This Gorton’s Crunchy Butterfly Shrimp uses whole shrimps with tails on and wraps the shrimps with panko. The panko crusts just up the tastes with amazing crunchiness and crispiness! It saves so much time for us to prepare a delicious recipe using Gorton’s products. 

How to Gorton’s Crunchy Butterfly Shrimp (You can also find the instruction on the back of the package)

• Preheat the oven to 425F
• Place the shrimps on metal baking pan or sheet
• Bake 16-19 minutes, flipping after 10 minutes (I usually bake 19 minutes for very chunky texture) 
• Done! 

In a few minutes of baking, my kitchen is filled with its delicious smells – so irresistible!!! 
 
Don’t microwave the shrimps. The shrimp will be dry, and the crusts will be soft and tender. The chunkiness will be lost...

 So here is my recipe – you probably can’t find any shrimp easier recipe than this :)

Prepare Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2 
 
Here are the ingredients that you need:

Follow the easy steps:

This shrimp will be a perfect appetizer for our happy hour (at home) or late-night snacking when we binge watch our favorite shows. Every single bite is flavorful. This taste is so fresh and firm. Its golden crunchy crusts just bring the seafood flavor to the next level. The breading just makes me so satisfied. This is really like gourmet food, but it only takes 20 minutes. Super convenient, as easy as 1, 2, 3.
