Instructions
- In a bowl, toss the shrimp with the buffalo sauce until well coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let this marinade for 10 minutes.

Tips
- For a lighter version, you can use whole grain bread and Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise in the dressing. If you like it extra spicy, feel free to add more buffalo sauce.
