Steps:
- Divide the shrimp between two 8- or 9-inch pie pans and pat them completely dry with a paper towel. Arrange the shrimp so they lay flat and are evenly spaced in the pans.
- Heat 2 large skillets over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper; add a teaspoon of butter to one of the pans and turn the heat to high. When the foam subsides, invert a pan of shrimp over the skillet so they fall into the pan all at once. Repeat with the other shrimp. Cook the shrimp, without moving them, until they turn golden brown on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Add a remaining teaspoon of butter to each pan and turn off the heat. Turn the shrimp over with tongs and cook for 1 minute in the residual heat of the pans. Add half the zest, juice, and dill to each pan, and shake the pan to combine.
- Divide the shrimp among 4 plates or arrange on a platter. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- To save time, you can use pre-cooked shrimp.
- If you don't have dill, you can use another fresh herb, such as parsley or basil.
- To make the dressing ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For a more flavorful salad, marinate the shrimp in the dressing for at least 30 minutes before assembling the salad.
- If you're serving the salad immediately, you can add the dressing just before serving. If you're making the salad ahead of time, add the dressing just before serving to prevent the pasta from getting soggy.
