JUMBO SHRIMP WITH CHIVE BUTTER
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.

- 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.
