Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the jumbo shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. If not pre-prepared, peel and devein the shrimp.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice and mustard. Whisk them together until well blended.

- Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Remove the shrimp from the marinade and let any excess drip off.
- Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque in the center. Be careful not to overcook, as shrimp can become tough.
- Once cooked, transfer the shrimp to a serving plate.
- Drizzle the warm chive butter generously over the shrimp.
- Optionally, you can garnish with additional chives or a wedge of lemon for extra zest.
- Serve immediately while the shrimp and butter are hot. This dish can be paired perfectly with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your Lemon-Mustard Jumbo Shrimp with Chive Butter!
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure the shrimp are thoroughly cleaned and deveined before cooking.
- Marinate the shrimp in the lemon juice and mustard mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
- Use unsalted butter to better control the seasoning of the dish.
- Chop the chives finely to evenly distribute their flavor throughout the butter.
- Cook the shrimp just until they turn pink and opaque to avoid overcooking, which can make them tough.
- Serve immediately for the best taste, garnished with additional chives if desired.
