longhorn steakhouse Archives

These little copycats of the Longhorn Steakhouse Wild West shrimp were incredible. The Prairie Dust mix had a great flavor and kick to it. And Peppadew peppers? I could eat them out of the jar. Sure, I “cheated” and used frozen precooked shrimp, but that makes these all the easier to make, perfect for feeding a small crowd in a hurry.

I served these copycat Longhorn Steakhouse Wild West shrimp with just your usual ole Ranch dressing. Really, you can just eat the shrimp like popcorn, one after another, without the dressing. Just pop them into your mouth one after another. Sure, it might not look pretty but they’re so good that it’s hard not to.
