This appetizer is perfect to make ahead.  The sauce can be made and stored in the fridge up 2 days in advance. Saute the shrimp and keep in the fridge for up to1 day.

Make sure to keep the sauce chilled when serving. I like to fill a freezer safe bowl with water and place a smaller metal bowl inside the bowl filled with water, place in the freezer over night or until frozen solid. Place the dip in the frozen bowls and serve.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds shrimp, peeled and de-veined
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add butter and allow to melt.
2. Add shrimp to the melted butter and sauté for about 5 minutes, you want them to be curled up, firm and pink.
3. Remove from the sauté pan and serve or keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
