Step 1
Whisk the egg with a little water to make a light egg wash. Pour some breadcrumbs into a shallow bowl. 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. Add the shrimp and cook them until they’re firm and opaque, about 4 to 6 minutes. Once done, take the shrimp out and keep them warm.
Step 3
Give the pan a quick rinse, then melt the butter along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in it. Stir in the lime juice and let it come to a boil. Let it bubble for about a minute, then toss the shrimp back in. Stir everything together so the shrimp get nicely coated in the buttery lime sauce. Serve right away and enjoy!
Creative Serving Ideas
Serve alongside steamed rice or a light salad to complement the citrusy butter sauce. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley for an extra burst of color and freshness. A wedge of lime on the side adds a nice touch for those who want more tang.
How To Store For Later
Store leftover shrimp in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to avoid overcooking. Avoid freezing if possible, as the texture may change.
