Key Lime Butter Sauce image

This is not a beurre blanc as there is no cream in a beurre blanc. It is a delicious butter sauce though! I serve it with seared scallops, spinach, jasmine rice, also a red pepper sauce.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/3 cup white wine vinegar
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 large shallots, very finely chopped
1/2 cup key lime juice (I use Nellie & Joe's Famous Key West Lime Juice)
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4-1 cup unsalted butter
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Reduce the vinegar, wine, keylime juice, shallots, salt and pepper in a saucepan over medium heat until the liquid is nearly evaporated.
  • Add the heavy cream and reduce by half.
  • Cool the mixture to 140°F.
  • Place the saucepan with the reduced mixture over extremely low heat and whisk in the butter tablespoon by tablespoon, whisking vigorously the entire time.
  • Strain the sauce.
  • Keep warm until ready to serve - do not allow the sauce to boil or it will separate.
