Bangin Good Shrimp

Stir fried shrimp mixed with a creamy sweet and spicy chili sauce served on a bed of lettuce topped with scallions. This is a great slimmed down recipe that only takes about 10 minutes to prepare which makes this perfect for lunch, as an appetizer or even a light meal. You can easily find Sweet Chili Sauce and Sriracha at your local supermarket (found mine at Wal-Mart).This recipe I was a little skeptically of because I only ever ate fried shrimp, but the sauce is really good and if you don’t mind the texture of the shrimp you will enjoy it
