Ingredients
Gathering the right ingredients is the first step to culinary success. Here’s what you’ll need to create these delicious towers:
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1/4 cup buffalo sauce
- 1/4 cup ranch dressing
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 croissants, halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese for extra flavor
If you’re feeling adventurous or need to accommodate dietary preferences, you can substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella for a milder taste or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.

- Stack croissant halves into towers and serve warm.
