½ teaspoon lime zest
3 tablespoons butter, softened
½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
2 tablespoons white wine or chicken stock

In a heavy sauté pan over medium-high heat, place garlic, shallots and ½ of the butter. Bring to temperature and add the shrimp, shell-side up. Cook for 1 ½ minutes and turn. Add lime juice and wine and cook for an additional 1 ½ minutes. Add the cilantro, remaining butter, black pepper and lime zest and cook until the butter melts (don’t let butter boil).
