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.
