Ingredients

  • A single egg
  • Two tablespoons of water
  • A pound of fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • A generous cup of panko breadcrumbs
  • Four tablespoons of oil, divided
  • Two tablespoons of butter
  • The juice of a lime

Step 1

Whisk up a delightful egg wash by combining eggs and water until light and frothy. Pour breadcrumbs into a wide dish for dipping. Gently coat each shrimp in the egg wash before rolling them in the breadcrumbs.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, warm up a mix of oil until it shimmers. Cook the coated shrimp until they turn firm and opaque, usually around 4 to 6 minutes. Once done, transfer the cooked shrimp to a plate and cover them to keep warm.

Step 3

Give the skillet a quick rinse before adding butter and the remaining oil. Squeeze in fresh lime juice and let it bubble away for about a minute to meld the flavors. Reintroduce the cooked shrimp to the pan, tossing them in the zesty lime sauce until they are nicely coated. Serve this scrumptious dish straight from the pan for a burst of citrusy goodness.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep your shrimp fresh by storing them in a sealed container in the coldest part of your fridge.
  2. 2. Store your zesty lime butter sauce in a glass jar with a tight lid to maintain its vibrant flavor.
