Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Pan-Fried Shrimp with Lime Butter.
Step 1
Start by whisking together an egg and a splash of water in a bowl to create a light and airy egg wash that will help the breadcrumbs stick to the shrimp.
Step 2
Next, pour panko breadcrumbs into a shallow dish, making it easy to coat your shrimp evenly.
Step 3
Take each shrimp and dip it into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off before tossing it in the breadcrumbs until it’s fully covered in that delightful crunch.
Step 4
Now, heat up two tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, gently add the coated shrimp to the pan.
Step 6
Fry them for about four to six minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are firm and beautifully opaque.
Step 7
When they’re perfectly cooked, remove the shrimp from the skillet and keep them warm while you prepare the sauce.
Step 8
Carefully wipe out the skillet to remove any leftover bits, then add a couple of tablespoons of butter along with the remaining oil.
Step 9
Heat this mixture over medium until the butter melts into a luscious blend.
Step 10
Pour in some fresh lime juice and bring it to a gentle boil, allowing it to bubble for about a minute to reduce slightly and intensify the flavors.
Step 11
Finally, return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, tossing them in the zesty lime butter sauce until they are well coated and glistening.
Step 12
Serve these delicious shrimp immediately for the best flavor experience, and watch as your guests savor every bite! Enjoy the delightful combination of crispy shrimp and tangy lime butter that’s sure to impress.
