Delicious! In case anyone is interested, this recipe when the sauce is doubled and put over udon noodles is 16 weight watchers points and serves 4. I doubled the sauce (8 TBSP of butter, 2 TBSP Olive Oil, 4 TBSP Lime, 2 TBSP Worcestershire). It turned out great! I may have put a little too much lime juice (I didn't measure) but it was great anyways. Husband said it almost tasted like the key lime shrimp they have at TGI Fridays so I'll label that a success!!!

This came as a complete surprise to me. I had a ton of key limes and wandered through here to find a non-key lime pie recipe. This is a perfect dish....simple, delicious, subtle, and fast. I served it over orzo. I reduced the butter down by a tablespoon, but didn't change anything else. The only thing lacking is some fresh ground black pepper and salt and chocolate for dessert. Thanks for a really good recipe for a fast and easy dinner (or lunch).

Wow! This has great flavor. I wasn't sure how the worcestershire and lime would work together, but it was great. I doubled the sauce and served the shrimp and sauce over pasta. Yum, yum!

This is amazing. I've made it exactly as posted and my boyfriend and I both love it. I serve it with saffron rice and a nice salad. Thanks for posting!
