Bring to almost boiling on medium heat before adding about 3 pounds of large shrimp in the shell, headed. Turn to high until back to temperature. Turn off the heat and let the shrimp sit in the butter and rest for 5 minutes or so.

French bread rounds to sop up the butter and lots of napkins...

Left-over melted butter makes a great starter for all sorts of soups and chowders.
It don’t suck.
