For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the lobster tails before chopping and adding them to the skillet. If Key limes are unavailable, regular limes can be used as a substitute, though the flavor will be slightly different. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. This dish pairs well with a crisp, dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl, combine the softened butter, hot pepper sauce, and Key lime juice. Mix well until fully incorporated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepCover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld. (Refrigeration time: 3 hours+)
03
StepMelt the 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
04
StepAdd the shrimp and lobster tails to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp just turn pink and the lobster is opaque, about 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the seafood. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)
05
StepReduce the heat to medium. Add the sliced mushrooms, minced garlic, and white wine to the skillet. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
06
StepContinue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and are tender, about 5 more minutes. The sauce should slightly thicken. (Cook time: 5 minutes)
07
StepRemove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the chilled Key lime butter mixture until it is completely melted and evenly distributed, coating the seafood and vegetables. (Prep time: 1 minute)
08
StepServe immediately over pasta, rice, or your favorite side dish. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, if desired.
