Panko-coated pan-fried shrimp with a delicious lime butter that is tasty enough but does not overpower the flavors of the shrimp. Serve over a mixed greens salad or with angel hair pasta with cream sauce and a fresh vegetable for a larger meal.

Pan-Fried Shrimp with Lime Butter

water

shrimp,

panko bread crumbs

oil, divided

butter

lime, juiced

Mix egg and water together to make a light egg wash. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.


Dip shrimp into the egg wash and toss into breadcrumbs.


Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan over medium heat. Add shrimp and fry until firm and opaque, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove shrimp and keep warm.


Rinse out the pan. Heat butter and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the pan. Add lime juice; bring to a boil. Continue boiling for 1 minute. Return cooked shrimp to the pan and stir to coat with the lime sauce. Serve immediately.


4.3.18  This was absolutely delicious!  I’d bought a couple pounds of big frozen Argentinian Red Shrimp on sale at Publix last week for $7.99/lb, and they are simply amazing.  This recipe is so easy, the shrimp were so tender and perfectly cooked, the lime-butter sauce so bright and refreshing, it’s hard to put into words how much we enjoyed them.  Served with coconut rice, grilled pineapple drizzled with a plum glaze, and a wedge of fresh lime to squeeze over the shrimp. This was outstanding, thank you Miss Amy for sharing your recipe, going into my Favorites folder!***UPDATE 6.12.18:  A sauce that we like with these shrimp is Hot and Sweet Dipping Sauce from this site.

quick easy and very delicious. We will be making this often.

I really enjoyed this recipe it was relatively simple to make and the flavor was great! I found I needed more oil lime and butter at the end for my pound of shrimp.
