Tips
1. Thinly slice only the fragrant outer peel of the lemon and freeze it — handy to have on hand for other dishes too. 2. Butter burns easily over high heat, so sear the shrimp in olive oil first and add the butter at the end. 3. Feel free to add herbs to taste — fresh dill pairs especially well with the bright lemon flavor. 4. Add the lemon juice last, after turning off the heat, so its bright aroma doesn't cook off and it cuts through the richness of the butter.
