Florida Shrimp and Lobster with Key Lime Butter
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons key lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 pounds medium Key West pink shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 small spiny lobster tails, meat removed from shell and coarsely chopped
  • 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup white wine
Instructions
1
Combine 1/2 cup of softened butter with the pungent flavor of hot pepper sauce and the tangy essence of Key lime juice in a small bowl; cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat; introduce the succulent shrimp and lobster tails into the pan. Cook and stir until the shrimp have just begun to change color, 2 to 3 minutes of constant movement.
3
Lower the heat to medium and add the earthy mushrooms, aromatic garlic, and a splash of white wine; continue to cook and stir until the mushrooms have released their moisture and become tender, about 5 more minutes of gentle coaxing.
4
Turn off the heat and blend in the Key lime juice mixture until it is fully incorporated and smooth.
