01
Stir in Lime Butter Sauce
Start by mixing half a cup of butter with some hot pepper sauce and fresh Key lime juice in a small bowl. Cover it up and pop it in the fridge for at least three hours so the flavors can really come together. When you’re ready to cook, melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the shrimp and lobster tails, stirring them around until the shrimp just turn pink—this should take about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium, then add the mushrooms, garlic, and a splash of white wine. Keep cooking and stirring until the mushrooms soften and release their juices, which usually takes around 5 minutes. Finally, take the pan off the heat and stir in the chilled Key lime butter mixture until it melts into a delicious sauce. Serve it up right away and enjoy!
