1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/4 cup mustard
60g
6 tbsp chives
18g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Shrimp:
- Rinse the shrimps under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. If not pre-prepared, peel and devein the shrimp.
2. Marinate the Shrimp:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon juice and mustard. Whisk them together until well blended.
- Add the shrimp to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated with the lemon-mustard mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the shrimp to marinate.
3. Prepare the Chive Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
- Once melted, add the finely chopped chives and dash of black pepper. Stir to incorporate.
- Keep the chive butter warm on very low heat, stirring occasionally.
4. Cook the Shrimp:
- 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.
5. Serve:
- 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.
6. Enjoy:

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.
