Step 1
Start by whisking together the egg and water to make a light egg wash. Pour some breadcrumbs into a shallow dish. Dip each shrimp into the egg wash, then coat it well with the breadcrumbs. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the shrimp and cook them for about 4 to 6 minutes until they're firm and opaque. Take the shrimp out and keep them warm while you clean the pan. Next, melt the butter along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in the same pan. Squeeze in the lime juice and let it come to a boil, cooking for about a minute. Toss the shrimp back into the pan and stir everything together so the shrimp get nicely coated in that tangy lime butter sauce. Serve it up right away and enjoy!

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to keep the shrimp tender and avoid overcooking.
