Steps:
- Bring two quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add shrimp, return to the boil and cook briefly, no more than 2 minutes or until shrimp are just cooked through. Remove from heat, drain and run shrimp under cold water to halt the cooking. Set aside to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel shrimp and discard shells.
- Heat two tablespoons of the butter in a pan and saute sliced leek very gently until soft. Place in the bowl of a food processor, add peeled shrimp, dill and remaining butter. Process until well blended. Add half the lemon juice, a little salt and pepper, process again and taste. Add remaining lemon juice and more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve immediately, with crisp toast fingers or slices of crusty bread.
