A flavorful Super Bowl party bowl featuring garlicky butter shrimp scampi, creamy ranch dressing, and a spicy kick from chili crisp, layered with fresh veggies and taco fixings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chili crisp (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing
  • 10–12 taco shells or tortilla chips
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese (optional)
  • A handful of cilantro, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse and pat dry the shrimp, mince garlic, halve cherry tomatoes, thinly slice red onion, and shred lettuce and cheese if needed. Set aside. (Approx. 10 minutes)
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  3. Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook shrimp in a single layer for about 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Avoid overcrowding to ensure a nice sear.
  4. Stir in lemon juice and chili crisp. Toss the shrimp gently to coat and cook for another 30 seconds. Remove from heat and keep warm. (Approx. 8-10 minutes total cooking time)
  5. In serving bowls, create a base with shredded lettuce. Layer in cherry tomatoes, red onion, and cheese.
  6. Top each bowl with the warm shrimp scampi mixture. Drizzle ranch dressing evenly over the top. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
  7. Arrange taco shells or tortilla chips on the side for scooping or layering.

Notes

Do not overcook shrimp to avoid rubberiness. Add lemon juice at the end to brighten flavors. Adjust chili crisp amount to your heat preference. Use corn tortilla chips or lettuce wraps for gluten-free. Pre-made ranch dressing can be used but homemade is recommended for best flavor.
