Preparation Steps

• Finely chop the peeled and deveined shrimp. You can use a food processor for this, but be careful not to over-process into a paste.
• In a medium bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper.
• Add the finely chopped shrimp to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
• Transfer the shrimp butter to a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Roll it into a log shape. Twist the ends to seal.
• Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the butter to firm up. This makes it easier to slice.
• Once firm, slice the shrimp butter into rounds and serve on crackers, bread, or as desired.
