Quick Fix: Shrimp with Lime Butter Sauce
Shrimp with Lime Butter Sauce
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
1 stick chilled butter, cut into 8 pieces
4 tablespoons fresh cilantro
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 pounds uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Boil lime juice in a heavy small saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 2 ½ tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in two butter pieces, one at a time. Set pan over low heat and whisk in remaining butter one piece at a time. (If sauce breaks down at any time, remove from heat and whisk in two butter pieces.) Remove from heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons fresh cilantro.
Heat oil in wok or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp, in batches if necessary, and stir-fry until just opaque, about 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a serving platter. Pour sauce over. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro.
