As Bon Appetit says, the sauce does double duty, part baste and later dipping. From the june 1990 issue of bon appetit. I changed it a little by adding jalapeno, but you can omit.

*NITA'S TIP: Large shrimp are quicker and easier to prepare and worth the price!
If you use extra large (jumbo) shrimp, you will need to cook them for about 4 minutes.
**NITA'S TIP: You can use fresh basil or parsley and make the same recipe.
Then you would have Basil Butter or Parsley Butter.

Tips:

Jumbo shrimp are typically more expensive, but they are worth the price for their sweet and tender flavor.
If you cannot find jumbo shrimp, you can use large shrimp instead. Just adjust the cooking time.
To devein the shrimp, use a sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp. Remove the dark vein that runs through the center of the shrimp.
Chive butter is a simple but delicious way to add flavor to shrimp. You can make your own chive butter by mixing softened butter with chopped chives, salt, and pepper.
If you don't have chive butter, you can use melted butter or olive oil instead.
Shrimp can be cooked in a variety of ways, including sautéing, grilling, roasting, and baking. The cooking method you choose will depend on your personal preferences and the recipe you are using.
Shrimp are done cooking when they are opaque and pink and the flesh is firm. Be careful not to overcook shrimp, as they will become tough.

Conclusion:

Jumbo shrimp with chive butter is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The shrimp are cooked to perfection and the chive butter adds a rich and flavorful sauce. Serve with your favorite sides, such as rice, pasta, or vegetables.
