Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup minced fresh tarragon plus sprigs from 1 package fresh tarragon (tied together)
4 teaspoons minced fresh chives
2 1/2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
4 cups chopped leeks (white and pale green parts only)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
12 ounces green beans, trimmed, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 cups frozen petite peas

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Mix butter, minced tarragon, chives, and lemon peel in small bowl.

This dish was okay. The shrimp were a bit overcooked, but the sauce was flavorful. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and tarragon, and it helped a bit. The shrimp were also a bit overcooked.
