I made this Creamy Lemon-Dill Shrimp using Florida Gulf pink shrimp. Years ago, I was hired to demo Florida pink shrimp at a Whole Foods convention. I made shrimp scampi about 100 times for 2 days! I fell in love with pink shrimp. The combination of cream, lemon and dill is absolutely perfect.

1½ -2 pounds large shrimp, peeled and de-veined tails removed if desired

1Rinse shrimp with cold water and pat very dry with paper towels. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet.
