A new favorite with my husband and me! Skipped the lime butter and instead served them with Vigo Cilantro Lime Rice. I made enough for four, and hubs couldn’t stop raving about the next-day leftovers. (After spraying them with olive oil cooking spray, put the shrimp under the broiler for a four minutes — flipping once — to crisp them up. A bit chewier, but still delish.)

I really enjoyed this recipe, it was relatively simple to make and the flavor was great! I found I needed more oil, lime, and butter at the end for my pound of shrimp.

4.3.18 This was absolutely delicious! I’d bought a couple pounds of big frozen Argentinian Red Shrimp on sale at Publix last week for $7.99/lb, and they are simply amazing. This recipe is so easy, the shrimp were so tender and perfectly cooked, the lime-butter sauce so bright and refreshing, it’s hard to put into words how much we enjoyed them. Served with coconut rice, grilled pineapple drizzled with a plum glaze, and a wedge of fresh lime to squeeze over the shrimp. This was outstanding, thank you Miss Amy for sharing your recipe, going into my Favorites folder!***UPDATE 6.12.18: A sauce that we like with these shrimp is Hot and Sweet Dipping Sauce from this site.
