Red Chili Garlic Shrimp Recipe

The red chili garlic shrimp is a long-time staff-favorite appetizer. Here’s the recipe for you to make at home between visits.

It’s such a loved dish that our COO, Bob Partrite, made it for his wife for her 50th birthday dinner at home since her original plans were canceled due to COVID stay-at-home orders. She loved it! And, she filmed Bob making it for you to enjoy. We take you into Bob’s home kitchen to show you how to cook this fantastic dish.
