CHILLED SHRIMP WITH LOBSTER BUTTER
This is my cover-band take on a dish served one spring at the restaurant Joe Beef in Montreal, which paired an enormous quantity of chilled steamed Canadian shrimp, bright and sweet, with a tureen of lobster butter. It was a dark and clouded sauce, slightly yellow, slightly green. We dipped and ate - sweet shrimp meat against deep salinity and velvet sauciness - and it was like hearing a hit song for the very first time, addictive from the start. We dipped everything in lobster butter that night. We're still at it now.

Steps:
- Place the shrimp in a large saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover them. Turn the heat to high, and bring the water to a boil. Cover the pan, remove it from the heat and let the shrimp sit for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Drain the shrimp carefully, then place in a large shallow bowl and chill completely. (You can speed the process by placing the shrimp in an ice bath for 10 minutes or so.) Serve with warm lobster butter.
