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.

DILL AND GARLIC SHRIMP SKEWERS
Steps:
- In a saucepan of boiling water boil the garlic for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is tender but not soft, drain it, and discard the peel carefully, leaving the cloves whole. In a bowl whisk together the dill seeds, the fresh dill, the lemon juice, and the red pepper flakes, add the oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the marinade until it is emulsified. Onto the end of each skewer thread a shrimp and 1 garlic clove. Arrange the skewers, shrimp end down, in a bowl just large enough to hold them. Pour the marinade over the shrimp, and let the shrimp marinate, cover loosely and chilled, basting them occasionally, for 3 hours. Drain the shrimp, arrange them in a shallow baking pan, and bake them in the upper third of a preheated 425°F. oven for 1 to 2 minutes, or until they are just cooked through.
Tips:
- Choose the right shrimp: Opt for medium-sized shrimp that are fresh or frozen but thawed before cooking. Devein and peel the shrimp, leaving the tails intact for easy skewering.
- Marinate the shrimp: Marinating the shrimp in a flavorful mixture of lemon juice, olive oil, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper enhances their taste and keeps them tender during cooking.
- Use wooden or metal skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill. Metal skewers can be used without soaking.
- Skewer the shrimp properly: To ensure even cooking, skewer the shrimp lengthwise through the center, leaving a small space between each shrimp for even heat distribution.
- Grill the shrimp kabobs over medium heat: Cook the kabobs over medium heat on a preheated grill for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
- Serve with flavorful sides: Grilled shrimp kabobs pair well with a variety of sides, such as grilled vegetables, rice, pasta salad, or a simple green salad.
