Ingredients

• 4 Tbsp butter

• 1 Tbsp extra‑virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Make buffalo sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (~1 minute). Stir in hot sauce and reduce heat to low while preparing the shrimp.
   
   

2. Cook shrimp: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Season shrimp with salt and pepper and cook about 2 minutes per side until opaque and pink. Remove from heat and toss with buffalo sauce until coated.
   
   

3. Assemble wraps: Spoon approximately ¼ cup of shrimp into each romaine leaf. Top with red onion, celery slices, and crumbled blue cheese. Serve immediately.
