Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
Expert Cooking Tips
- Don’t overcook the shrimp; they cook quickly and become rubbery if left too long.
- Use fresh lime juice for the best bright and zesty flavor in the sauce.
Step 1
Whisk together the egg and water to create a light egg wash. Pour some breadcrumbs into a shallow dish. Dip each shrimp into the egg wash, then coat it well with the breadcrumbs.
Step 2
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook them until they turn firm and opaque, about 4 to 6 minutes. Take the shrimp out and set them aside, keeping them warm.
Step 3
Give the pan a quick wipe, then melt the butter along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in it. Pour in the lime juice and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Let it bubble for about a minute to thicken slightly.
Step 4
Finally, toss the cooked shrimp back into the pan and stir them around so they get nicely coated in the lime butter sauce. Serve right away and enjoy!
